To clarify: The account holder was hacked so you think you are buying from a legitimate seller not some new member ANZ operate 04 accounts that can be created by overseas account holders of the ANZs so moral of the story, do not ever pay into an 04 account. The 04 account holder of the ANZ in this instance was tracked to Australia and despite them supposedly going through all the ANZ checks the Police aren’t pursuing it, nor probably are the ANZ.

This is the response from the Police:I have wrote back to them saying this needs to be investigated to stop whoever has scammed multiple persons to date and will continue to scam multiple people in the future and obviously the ANZ have a lot to answer for here too: Dear Rob,   Thank you for taking the time reporting this matter to Police.   The Police are concerned about all crime and the effect it has on both you and the community.   Police follow an integrated ten step case management process to record, gather evidence, assess, screen and link matters and make decisions on priorities incl...

Many of us rely on TM for our businesses. TM help us out here. I’m still out of pocket from when it happened to me. ANZ 04 account I presume? To raise an enquiry of another bank costs $75 from the BNZ. Maybe TM could make emails going out when listing an item the default for the first item listed on a day. Good suggestion Gary, shame most don’t know those options exist.

I’ve learnt intuition is a big thing in this game. Despite someone bidding on an auction if I’ve felt it’s not right I’ve removed their bid and blocked them. If they are keen they’ll reach out.

You probably can't but you can make the auction only for authenticated members. Presumably you can still select that option when editing the auction. 

I guess the alternatives are removed but nows off anything over $500 as I think all these issues are occurring in that bracket.

Yes, I can't see how there can be a scam on a pick up but the latter option was the most concern. Not much here to steal except me and I'm free to a good home :P

One never contacted me, another I can't remember, but today one wanted to know my best offer to sell after they had hit buy now (WTF) and the other wanted to pick up and had it not been for both saying "Kind Regards" and my spider senses I may have thought it was legit. I'm struggling to think why they want to pick up. To anyone watching this, before you reply check their email addresses - they are generic name@hotmail.com or generic name@some strange domain. So they aren't your normal email addresses. 

Yes it’s not flash and of course I can eels it but then buyers see auctions they are watching sell and get relisted it just looks dodgy.

Omg! Two more straight away! What’s happened to the security?
