Don’t you know what a swipe auctions scam is? You’ll find out more if you click on my previous link and read the article. Briefly, the scam goes on like this: there’s an auctions website where you can find all sort of items as cheap as 100 times less their real value. However, there’s a catch: you have to bid on them, the sum going up 1c with each new bid. Then, one person wins the bid, but all others have been ripped off their money because they are not going to see anything back. I even suspect there are websites which don’t actually give the winning bid to a real person, but they assign it to a fake user inside their system, so they can sell the same item multiple times,
