On a real "2nd chance offer" an item number is assigned. IE: you can go to
the main site, enter that item number, and see the item.

So to detect scam's check the item number, make sure the seller is the same
as the original, etc. Don't just follow email links, etc.

Legit uses:

- 1st place bidder is not able to complete the transaction (backs out, etc)
- duplicate item(s) for sale. If you have more than one of an item and they
are identical (or at least match the description)

Thanks,

Alan
