Something a bit fishy...

Something a bit fishy...

Postby TK-7785 » Mon Jan 14, 2019 7:42 pm

Call me a suspicious Simon, but I think we have a scam artist at work here. The listing has lifted image and description straight from Vectis' website from their 28th Nov auction. Hopefully it's a just a case of someone selling the lot that they won and being lazy with the listing's specifics. But their selling record seems to be more of a market trader/business type.

Good call Chris, see what happens. Have you messaged them stating that the image is from Vectis and why they haven't uploaded their own?

I have, Ham. I don't particularly expect a response but we shall see. I suspect the account may have been hacked as looking through their feedback there has been no activity in sales for over a year.
