I couldn't see much wrong with it. There's always been a demand for "no status" Visa cards. If you don't qualify for a bank account it saves having to carry round wads of cash. There are also some things (like hiring a car) that you need a card for.
Are you sure this is a scam?Can I help?0 -
Just read his feedback and people are buying them - unless they're his mates, which is possible. I'm amazed at what people will fall for on that site.0

Yes, I see what you mean about the "information" angle. However it does state this which elevates it slightly above the real "pay loads, get nothing" (or get a pirate piece of software) scams. Let's wait for some feedback from someone who's bought one!Can I help?0

Get a clue, what he is doing is fine. Some people do actually need those and there is nothing illegal in using them, so what are you on about? Research before you go accusing people of things!0 -

The selling of links can break several ebay terms and conditions and if in doubt always report such auctions to ebay and let them make a decision as to whether to allow the auction to continue, or whether to stop it.

Someone must have reported it and eBay deemed it a scam or similar as it has been removed.0
