View Full Version : Another Con: 50th Anniversary Knife BoBlade 01-24-2006, 05:08 PM This is the 3rd or 4th time this knife and sheath have been up as a scam: http://cgi.ebay.com/Randall-Knife-50-Year-Anniversary_W0QQitemZ6600012479QQcategoryZ72050QQr dZ1QQcmdZViewItem Moosehead 01-24-2006, 06:20 PM Hi Ron! Arrrgh! The "stained" sheath yet again. I think this must be closer to the 50th time this fraud has been attempted. Unfortunately, it appears that the crook has set up an eBay account in the United Kingdom TODAY!, and has kept the bidding "private". The only recourse for the Randall Police is to try and alert eBay that this is a fraudulent auction, and hope for the best. I have just done so. Cheers! Moosehead Moosehead 01-25-2006, 09:52 AM Hi all! As I write, the auction is still up and running with four bids, bidders identities kept private). However, I received confirmation of my alert to eBay, which reads in part: "...Thank you for writing eBay's SafeHarbor Department about a listing or seller you would like us to investigate for fraudulent activity. We are concerned about this type of activity and want to assure you that we will review your report as soon as possible, usually within 24 hours..." Hopefully, they will discover that this is indeed a scam and will pull the auction in time. Cheers! Moosehead jclarksnakes 01-25-2006, 03:37 PM ALRIGHT!!!! I love the mark on the front of that sheath! I have waiting for this one to come up again so I can bid before all you do gooders get it taken off Ebay. I am going to bid right now. :fencing: Jeff hammerdownnow 01-25-2006, 04:41 PM That was quick. I did not even get to look at it. Moosehead 01-25-2006, 07:16 PM Sorry Snakes and Hammer! It's gone, so you'll just have to wait until some other dumb crook decides to try his luck again. Score another one for the Randall Police! :D Cheers! Moosehead P.S.
