I heard about this particular scam on this or another site,where an email is sent entitled Ebay.They tell you they are the seller and and are offering you a second chance purchase for the price of your bid.Then give you a different email address and and try to get you to send them money.It happened to me today,they really messed up because I won the auction so I knew it wouldn't be the seller.They are targeting high priced auctions.My earlier lower bid on this bottle was over $1500 so it would of hurt.I am sure this is working for them,as many people would be anxious to get a second chance.The best way to protect is if you receive an email like this.Write the seller from your Ebay page and ask if they sent the message.Doug
