Fake ad for Fender Select Jazz USA amber burst. At least I think it is.....

At first glance this looked like a genuine ad by someone selling something they knew nothing about.

However, since it’s a lovely select USA jazz I thought I’d back check and the same photos were used to sell the same bass on 27th July in the US of A. The seller claims not know much about it as it was his uncles piece. I can’t attach the completed listing but search completed items with fender Jazz amber burst and it comes up.

So, as it’s located in the Isle of Skye, cash on collection, is it genuine or is it a scam (although I can’t think what scam it would be for cash on collection)? Oh yeah and they created their account with a flurry of small purchases on 6th August. Me smells a rat. Maybe.

Maybe it’s an attempt to boost the flagging visitor numbers to the Isle of Skye now it rains there every day again.

I'm a bit confused......

Scam. Isle of Skye is the giveaway. Same guy has been doing this for a while...

Oh really. Glad I raised it. I have reported it as suspect to eBay but people are bidding. Maybe this post can help a fellow basschatter who may be bidding.....

Closed because "there was an error in the listing".  Yup, indeed there was...

Good work

Glad it was closed. I sent a link of the original ad to the seller. I’m sure that had something to do with it being withdrawn......
