They've been around for a couple of weeks or more... the scam is that when
you contact them to be an approved bidder, they offer to sell it to you
there and then... obviously they don't have the items, but the fact that
they keep doing it means that some people are sending them money (or it's
someone who figures that if they keep trying, somebody will)
I emailed them to get "approved" to see what happens, been a couple of
hours, haven't heard back yet... also reported to *bay, who totally pi**ed
me off with an automated response, saying we'll maybe look into it, but
don't reply to this message as no one will read it, and providing no other
contact options... even phoned their 800 number ==> call back during
business hours when we won't listen to you either...
