I got a really good one the other day.
I was bidding on a bike frame, and I didn't win. The true owner then contacted me a day later with the "second chance" option to buy. I was still interested, and we ended up going through with the transaction.
Just a few hours later, I got another email offering me the second chance option, with a link to click through to the supposed deal. They of course would want my PayPal payment etc. Total scam. The tip off was the part about only selling it to me if I went through their special link, and not through the EBay page.
Still though, it was a pretty good fake, and had I not already been contacted by the actual seller, I could have fallen for it.
