Here Is My List Of Common Scams Too Look Out For!
If You Have Any More I Would Be Glad To Add Them

1) If It Is A New Swapper Selling A New Item, They Usually Don't Send, If They Put What Looks Like A Genuine Item As A Picture, Make Sure Too Search On Google Or Lookout For And eBay Picture Sign On It, Sometimes They Take A Picture Of There Own But Don't Bother Sending It

2) The One Which Is Being Used Alot Recently Is Putting 'Pic' In Description, Make Sure You Read All Descriptions Very Carefully As Sometimes It Can Be Sneaked Into The Middle Of A Long Paragraph To Try And Make Sure You Dont See It!

3) If The Person Writes 'Its in great condition, if it isn't when you receive it blame the post office' This Usually Means That Its In Bad Condition Now And Their Trying To Blame The Post Office.

4) If You Buy Something That Doesn't Say Which Box/Manuals/Charger etc There Is A Good Chance There Wont Be Any, As Usually You Would Put This In The Description

5) If They Don't Mention Condition Then It Could Be Bad, Because They Would Think 'If I Don't Mention It, I Can Get Away With It'

6) Swapitshop Never Ask For Your Password, Some Say I Can Get You 20k For Free, This Is Not True. Once The Scammer Has You Account Details They Will Not Do As They Have Promised. These Are Usually From Hotmail Adresses.
If You Have Fallen To Any Of These Scams Phone Swapitshop Or Return It To The Following Adress-

Swapitshop Post Room RETURNS
Po Box 29932
London SW6 7FE

Hope This Helped You Stop Being Scammed =]
