Xbox 360 Scam Auction

I hope this is the right place to post this.
I was looking for an Xbox 360 to buy and found this very dodgey auction from a user in Hong Kong.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Microsoft-Xbox-360-Premium-Game-Console-New-In-Box_W0QQitemZ330007762400QQihZ014QQcategoryZ112848QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Just to warn anybody else looking for a 360, do not buy from this guy, even though the price is very tempting...
He has 100% feedback but if you look at the comments people have left him, they are all new users and their names are just random letters and numbers, probably all one person. Obviously a scam. These people should be reported to ebay but without proof there isn't much you can do. Just watch out for similar looking auctions and always check the feedback before bidding on anything.
