Daytona and Milgauss scam?

Hi,
I saw these two listed on Ebay Canada with Canadian addresses, but both are using German Ebay accounts? Both Canadian addresses are different, but in the same geographical area. Both use German accounts (different accounts), and both also use "Buy it now". I'm guessing that you would make an offer and then they get your financial info from you?

I had sent a request for a meet and inspect at an AD on one of the watches before I saw the second listing, no response.

I don't follow.

How do you know they are German accounts?

I see what you are saying, referring to the feedback.

One has not done a transaction since 2004 - HIGHLY suspect, possible hijacked account.

It is possible the same occurred on the second.

Great attention to detail!

Exactly, also if you click on the user names on both, they both are listed as German accounts.

Both are also priced close but below market value. Reeks of scam to me...
Love your sig Greg.
