Had programme bids up to £28.00 on this and then 2 bid retractions within a minute of each other. Further investigation and one is a follower on the others page so obviously the same person.
Im just confused why? don't see any benefit to him Confused

He's showing his hand - he could be bid up to £28 by someone unscrupulous as they now know his upper limit, so I guess he will go in with a lower bid at some point

It's very obviously a scam as "they're" shill bidding. Give them as wide a berth as possible.
