    This is a site being sold on eBay. I was bidding on it and i bid 6 thousand dollars. I was going to bid up to 15 thousand with a friend of mine on it because the revenue reports they are showing looked like they were making a pretty decent profit.

    I called Azoogleads and was trying to get them to verify the reports that the seller of the auction is claiming to be theirs and they kept telling me that they could not verify the information because it is not my account... finally i told them that if it ends up being a scam, it would not look good on them and they told me that the reports the seller is claiming to be theirs are fake.

    Just throwing out a warning so no one else bids. I know this is in the wrong forum, but i couldnt post it in the proper ones, it wouldnt let me have access.

    Why would a seller with that much feedback do such a thing? Strange...

    i have no idea... it went up to 14 thousand dollars, and then whoever bid that high cancelled his bid... then it made me the high bidder again at 6,100 dollars... i panicked last minute and tried to cancel but then someone bid above me. I feel bad for whoever won but i did report it to eBay. I doubt they will do anything about it. I would love to contact the person who won but the seller made the auction private. SAD!

    I hate scam-artists. Especially when it involves that much money.

    Why would someone with high feedback do such a thing?

    Feedback can be cheap, there are millions of sub10$ sales on ebay, all ready to boost your feedback.

    Also this is selling for BIG bucks, would you really value the possibly cheap feedback score at the same as the thousands they are looking to make from this 1 scam sale?
