There are so many things wrong with this its hard to know where to start.

Look at the feedbacks, the items sold are not listed, they are all very recent and most on the same day.

I can see several other things wrong, I’m not going to list them as this is a public forum and who knows what other scumbags are reading, and who knows, some of them might take on a few tips, but this listing is very risky indeed.
