The word is already spread - it's the oldest scam in the book. We can only tell people if the actually come here to ask, and often then it's too late, but there are pages somewhere here on the site about staying safe.
The scammers usually offer more than the item is worth, and rely on the sellers greed. They target accounts with low feedbgack to take advantage of their inexperience.
The rules of the site are clear, and to be honest, if people are greedy enough to accept these "offers" thinking they are getting more than the item is worth, and at the same time avoid paying ebay fees, and they have often been warned here first, but still do it anyway, theres nothing we can say afterwards to help them.
Well done for not falling for it. When anything unusual happens that you are unsure of - even the smallest thing, always ask here first.
