Here is another Auction scam that was reported to me by one of our 419Eater members who has asked me to post it here

After doing a quick search on a section of the script I was able to find another example of the same scam Click Here
HI ,

I'm very glad that the item is still available!
First of all I want to apologize for my english and for
my late answer, I was out of town because my mom was sick.
I decided to buy your item so please tell me if it`s
necesarry to bid on it.
Like I said you in my first email I want you to ship it
via FedEx International Priority (3 days or so) because
I need it fast.
Because I want to be safe for both of us
we will close this deal using http://www.esafe-holdings.com
A very trustable and professional escrow service.
This service will protect both of us.Please go to
Esafe-Holdings website and open a new account with them.
Then INITIATE the transaction and please include the ebay
item# on the description.
I'm already a member and I'm waiting for you to start
the transactreion. For inspection period I think 2 days
(from the day I receive the package) it`s enough.
When you start it please put shipping insurance on the step 2
because I want them to insure the package too, I`ll pay.
After you will start the transaction you will see that
I'm a serious person and I have closed 8 positive
transactions through them.

Best Regards,
Fabian

PS: Check the "FAQ" link to see why it is safe to use
this kind of service, and also please add $100 to the total
price for shipping fees.
