Hey
I am just curious why you are trying to scam me for this? I know you are not 8bitadvantage for 100% certainity. I know the guy who actually is, Michael isn't even his first name, nor his screenname. The NES coummunity is pretty small so you had better be careful of trying to pull scams like this. Ebay has already been contacted and informed of what is going on. As well as the internet division of the FBI that investigates potential fraud.

At first I thought you might have sent the wrong link and it was a mistake but after seeing your responces I now know that you are trying to take advantage of young NES collectors. I know you have contacted other members about this also. I doubt you will respond to this message cause you now know you won't be getting any money and are exposed. I have also posted all of these emails to several popular forum sites dealing with video games in efforts to stop your potential scamming. Have a wonderful day!!!!!! :-D

From my experience nothing makes people madder than when you are overwhelming nice, while slightly being a smart-ass, lol.

I thoguht at first maybe he just sent the wrong item number, but I clarified the number and what was for auction. He is pure and simple trying to get contact info from people and take there money. I am half tempted to send him money and then have him arrested for mail fraud and theft, but that is way to much work on my end. Everyone just watch your email box from now on.

I am the eBay seller of Item number 190097412958.You expressed interest
in my item by bidding, however the auction has ended with another eBay
member as the high bidder. Because the winner of my auction didn't
respond to my emails after winning the auction, I want to issue a second
chance offer to you. There are a lot of bidders who bid on the auction
for fun and I hope you are serious buyer and we can make a clear deal. If
you accept my second chance offer we will be eligible for eBay services
associated with a transaction, such as fraud protection. To purchase my
item please reply me.

P.S. If you are interested i will wait your reply asap.

Thank you!


First off that is for the BB2 box that Nistle (8 Bit Advantage) sold to Erik (braveheart69). I know for a fact that Erik of course pays for what he buys so I smelled BS off the get go. Plus if it didnt sale Dustin would not have sent me an email from ebay trying to sale it to me. He would have PM'ed me here or IM'ed on AIM. So here was my responce:

So Braveheart69 didn't respond. Out of curiosity how much do you want?


his responce in turn:

Thanks for your fast reply , I want to let you know that the winner of my
auction didn't respond to my emails after winning the auction so you have
the opportunity to purchase this item at your bid price .If you want to
purchase the item i want to tell you that the deal will go strictly
according to ebay's rules and policy regarding to this second chance offer
and In order to start the process this i will need your userID, name and
address so i can start and register the transaction under the ebay and
Square Trade surveillance without any other problems. I'm asking you those
details cause this transaction is under the eBay and Square Trade
surveillance and protection and i will not do it with out eBay and Square
Trade protection.So if you are agree with me please let me know the details
i asked. As soon as I have them I'll start the official procedure, and ebay
and Square Trade will notify you about this. You'll also receive important
guidelines + instructions from them (please go through them exactly). I
don't usually pay for shipping but since this is a second chance offer i
will support all the shipping and insurance taxes, i hope to hear from you
soon. Thank you


So this really tosses up some red flags in my mind. I contacted Nistle at this point so he knew what was going on. I think he is in contact with ebay over this now.

me:

So are you sure that this was actually your auction, did you send me the correct item number for bubble bobble part 2 box? You are 8 bit advantave, correct? Let me know exactly how to proceed and exactly how much you are wanting for it shipped. Could you relist it on ebay and me pay the fees? I look forward to your responce.


him:

Please click the URL ffor you can see the auction:

I haven't responed back to him yet, but I plan to call him out and see what he says now. I just wanted to let everyone know that if someone is contacting you to be careful.

Nistle you better contact all the people who bid on your auction and make sure they know what is going on.

The person who sent me these email name is Michael Moot and his email is [email protected]. Does anyone know this name or whom this person is? Thoughts, suggestions?
