Ebay scams with cars.

I have recently been watching a group who publicise and act on ebay scams. Most involve cars or motorhomes but many others involve classic cars and machinery.Basically the scammers use false or hijacked accounts to list stuff at what would be bargain prices. They invite people to contact the seller often at a Gmail address.What happens is a reply is sent inviting the recipient to open a link which contains a trojan that then takes over their computer. Ebay seem powerless to do anything about these scams and the people responsible are listing hundreds at a time spread throughout ebay. The bottom line is,dont reply to any,if it seems to be good to be true you now know why.
Incidentally I posted this on another forum and was surprised to see comments like "Serve the idiots right" I like to think most classic car enthusiasts try and help fellow entusiasts.
