Craigslist, Ebay and other online buying/selling scams.

I saw an Amazon listing for this with the description "BEFORE YOU ORDER CONTAC T: PainterSHOP18 # G M A I L , C 0 M ( please change the # to @)".

This is a scam.

I contacted this email and received the following (from "Carol L Painter"):

Hello,
First of all let me apologize for the late answer.
Let me explain you how you can buy my DJI Mavic Pro Drone with 4K Camera
The item is brand new, never used, but i can't list it as a new product due to Amazon policy, they don't allow me to list it as a new product. The item will comes with original box and accessories and 2 years international warranty.
If you are wondering why the price is lower than the usual,it is because we have some promotional prices . The offer lasts 7 days.
The total price is £400.00, including all shipping costs to Europe. If you want to buy it, please send me your shipping address(phone number, your complete name, street name and number, zip code and city) I will immediately send the required data to Amazon Department. They will contact you with the order and details about payment and shipping. You will have to complete the payment with them. Dispatch will be by normal UPS Services, which takes 3-5 days, depending on where in the United Kingdom you are located.
My return policy is full refund in 21 days.
For more information, please don't hesitate to contact me!
Many Thanks


I contacted the Amazon seller and they said:

I have to advise you that yesterday, our Amazon seller account, [...] either experienced some sort of outside 'hack' or some form of technical glitch internally on the Amazon system which caused our account to become populated with over 100,000 ASINs (for electronic products)

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
