Nextel/Moto i870 on eBay....SCAM!

My brother gets antsy when they come out with new phones...He told me someone on eBay has the new 870 on there, and wants $300 for it. Auction Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Motorola-PEBL-V6...QQcmdZViewItem

My brother sent the guy an E-mail and he replied the following...
HI
First I want to tell you that my phones are brand new,unlocked, unopened box
all accessories included (charger,SIM CARD,battery,headset,manual,cables....) and also an international warranty.
The invoice will come at the same time with the package.
In this case shipping is free.
My price is the best you could get: 300$/unit, including the
shipping and insurance taxes. We will pay them because the package
will be delivered from Europe.I have 15 units avalaible.
As delivery service we use UPS 2 days air service or overnight (with insurance and
15 days return policy), because it's the faster also free. And if you will have
a quick payment, we must also have a quick delivery. So that's why we
use as a payment method Western Union money transfer, the fastest and
also very secure way of sending money.

The phones work using any network, any mobile provider.
So, if you agree with my terms ,i'm sure that we can close the deal as soon as possible.
Waiting your quick answer right now,

BEST REGARDS



When I saw the words "Western Union", I'm only thinking about that whole scam that turned into a joke with someone somewhere on the web regarding an Apple Powerbook (link: http://www.p-p-p-powerbook.com/files/thepowerbook.pdf )..... I call 100% on this....What do you think?

Well looks like the item was removed by e-bay, so its safe to say it was a scam.
