I was recently out bid on a Big Bertha fusion driver. I got that second chance offer to purchase, and I did. Fortunately, I wasn't scammed because the driver arrived yesterday as described in the origional write-up. Wow.
Thanks for the heads up RD.

Crap, I guess I was lucky. I was recently out bid on a Big Bertha fusion driver. I got that second chance offer to purchase, and I did. Fortunately, I wasn't scammed because the driver arrived yesterday as described in the origional write-up. Wow.

The rule of thumb is ALWAYS double check the link. Often it's not what it says it is. Also, make a habit of going directly to ebay to check your mail or account or watch list. Don't click through the link. Sure as shootin', one morning before you're awake, you'll click through to a brilliantly designed fraudulent fake Ebay site and then you'll be in for it.
Or just to a site that does drive by downloads.
