Online Auction Scams
Has anyone noticed this scam of people bidding on the auctions and walking away in order to delay the sale? I've noticed in a few counties that the same people bid on auctions and walk away. They lose their deposit, which is minimal, but it delays the sale because it has to be rescheduled. These people are supposed to be banned from further auctions but I don't see that happening. Anyone else notice this or other scams occurring?
