BEWARE !!!!!!!

BOFIRESWOMAN

This Bidder is sending an Automated Response Email stating this person has died in a fatal car crash to get out of following through on Auctions.

So far, 4 have been burned including me.

This is a sick manipulative reason for not following through on an auction.

If you should receive this email IT IS NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!

I strongly suggest leaving negative feedback if you should unfortunately have this person as the high bidder on a closed auction and you receive this email.

Hi- Just curious- How do you know so certainly that it is a hoax? What if the bidder really was killed?

Possibly because they keep bidding at a later date??

I have been watching her feedback activity the last couple of weeks and this person has received other negative feedback after the date of my closed auction during this time stating the same thing.

I have been speaking with other sellers that received the same email.

I am filing a complaint with Amazon as well as another seller.

I would never make such an allegation without researching the history first.

I agree that it would be an unfortunate tragedy and deserving respect and understanding of the incomplete auction as well as eliciting sympathy of an untimely death of a person and empathy for the loved ones left behind.

I too have experienced such an event of a loved one dying to soon and it was very hard emotionally and mentally to cope with.
