Default Newest eBay Scam!

WIN A NEW HONDA S 2000 S2000 ROADSTER !!!!

Ok, it is now getting unreal. @ $100 each x 500 = $50,000. It is nice to see that no one has fallen for this.

They always run these in the back of car mags. Usually a corvette or Porsche. I cant see how they'd get 500 buys in that short amount of time anyway.

I paid $20 for 10 tickets at my church bazaar over the weekend for a new civic. At least the church gets the money.

I could have swore I read on there that raffles were not allowed on ebay. I guess if you're dumb enough to fork over $100...

Just so there is no misunderstanding. I titled the post "Newest eBay Scam!" as a warning to others.
I just belive that when it is too good to be true, then it is a scam.
