Re: [Evolver] Am I being scammed?

Sounds like a very obvious scam to me. Payment via Western Union is a huge red flag. Not to mention to the UK...and item was in California?

I'm looking for "presetbandit" who just sold a poly evolver on ebay.
I'm being solicited by a user claiming to be "presetbandit" and sent a
very official looking "second chance" offer from Ebay, as the original
winner bowed out.

It looks very suspicious and is requesting a Western Union payment to
the UK, even though the item was located in California. I sent a
Contact Member to "presetbandit" on ebay, but ebay said it may be
blocked as we have not had any transactions to be speaking to one another.

I figured this person may be on this list and can confirm or deny
whether this is valid.

Here's the link to the item :
