TR2/3/3A Too good to be true? Ebay tr3

Share this page

Some of his other items are quoted as being in Tucson AZ.

Geo, aren't you in that area?
 
WARNING

When you click on the link in the post, you're quickly re-directed to a non-ebay website. The website you end up at is designed to look like an ebay site. The host is:

https://stradacars.biz.ly/

I kept a copy of the full re-direction url, but didn't post it so others won't click to it from here. If you want it I can email it to you. But I don't recommend it!

I'm almost sure it's bogus. When you are in ebay and click on the link to view the car, watch the URL up in the address bar. It initially goes to an ebay site but then appears to be redirect to stradcars.biz.ly which doesn't look like an ebay address to me. I've reported it to ebay.
 
Hmmm - maybe I'm missing something.

Isn't Terry Geiger's post at 9:38am basically the same thing I posted at 9:22am?

Do some people's posts not show up to other people?

Glad we're all on the same team...
 
No longer a registered user! The pic doesn`t show up on my browser, it wants me to D/L a plugin {which I have no intention of doing!} O reports on user feedback! {suspicious to say the least}

I woudn`t buy it off of EBAY anyway!
I would have liked to seen the pic tho.
Legitimate ebay sites have no problem displaying thier pics in my browser!
A phisher? I think so!

Sorry about that, I was in the process of replying and the phone rang. I finished my reply after the phone call was completed but in the interium you had replied. While in the reply window, I can't see the other posts.
 
Thanks Terry. With the increase in bogus websites I was halfway afraid something was hiding some of the posts here.

BTW, great job on your Shoals website.

Hi,

Interesting. It's definitley a scam. I did a search in e-bay for triumph cars for sale, and it comes up as a featured item. If you hover your cursor on this car, it shows a cgi.ebay.com website listing, and when you click on it, you will initially go to the correct listing, but then you are quickly redirected to the bogus website.

How to report it though, when you can only go to the bogus site?

I reported it by getting the appropriate item number (discovered by "hovering" over the link). The item # is shown in the status bar while hovering so I could get item number before actually going to the item listing (which did a redirect to the bogus site). Since e-bay will allow you to use your own HTML code, I suspect someone uploaded some code along their site listing that performs the redirect to the bogus web site.

This item has been pulled by eBay, yea.
