Now I could just be being paranoid but I thought I’d put out this warning regardless.

I think someone is trying to pinpoint the physical location of a CSL by selling CSL specific parts on Ebay.

Look out for someone with zero feedback or eBay history selling a small CSL specific item. They’ll message you to ask if you actually own a CSL, as they’d like to see the item go to a real owner. If you answer in the affirmative you’ll then be pestered to death to make the purchase.

You may think that none of the above is that unusual, but the way I’ve been pursued is just super, super, fishy and way over the top. So fishy that I began to wonder what this person was really after. Then it dawned on me. As soon as I provide my shipping details this person has the location of a CSL. I wonder why they’d want that…….

I may just be paranoid. But just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.

If anybody wants more specific details then PM me.

I'm no dafty, I'd not post something like this up if my gut wasn't telling me that something wasn't quite right.

It's probably better to make it public knowledge since it's a "Community Alert" as you put it

Sure but I'd rather not risk being accused of slander over the internet. Happy to PM people the details but I'm not going publish openly on the forum. The seller should be easy to spot if he tries the same tactic.

Please can you PM the details to me. I'm watching a few items at the moment...Thanks.

MisterCorn · 27-02-2015, 01:03 PM

If you just bid on an item, win it, pay for it and have it delivered there is no way you will know though is there? I understand your concerns about not wanting to be accused of slander though, please PM me the details.

I guess people are getting like this to try and locate CSL's as there are not to many around, not even seen 1 except mine in my area.
