WATCH OUT EBAY THIEF IS BACK

This ebay seller was caught before and someone on here was praising him what great cards he had (a newbie)

The newbie also said he went to his house with a pocket of cash to buy the cards. I forget his username here, but hes new.

Anyway the seller is back LINK

The clemente scan has been stolen from vcp the card sold to ebay user sparky-23 on 05/25/08.

Current seller just switched from paypal to money bookers

  • That's awful. I think the first thing that should go through anyone's head is why a PSA 7 looks like an 8 or 9. The barcode is blurry as well, always a sign. These scammers are getting smarter (using lower grades instead of always 9s and 10s). Yuck... the scammer is here and probably learns how to hone his craft by reading these threads. Like the one that phishes for info on these boards.
  • He apparently sold the same card yesterday twice on a best offer and now he is trying to sell it again.

    Man, look at his completed auctions for the past couple of days. I am amazed that he is getting away with this.

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

  • What a shock. The guy buys almost all $1 items to pad his eBay account. He sells cards that are thousands upon thousands of dollars, but he buys paper-clips and commons for no more than $1-$1.50... sure.
  • Are those PSA Jordan RCs the ones he was trying to sell on here??? Is that why he has them as private listings and doesn't show a scan of the front? Did someone here buy that from him and have him put it on eBay to be "safe"??? Yikes!

    Edit - There is a scan of the front. Does anyone know where that thread is so we can see if it's the same cards?

    ////////////////////////

    How?

    Simple.

    EBAY is happy to be a PAID partner in as many such crimes
    as possible.

    LEOs are "busy" doing other things.

    .....

    Card scams are TINY in the BIG-picture of the crimes that
    go down on EBAY. Soooooooooooo tiny.

    << <i>WTF is Moneybookers? >>



    lol, no sh*t. I've gone through about every online payment mediary imaginable though my online poker playing days and I can say that I've never used moneybookers. (paypro, netteller, ewalletexpress, usemywallet, instadebit, click2pay, onlineecheck, etc..etc..) Besides the fact that I would never buy something that didn't offer paypal.

    moneybookers is an accepted payment gateway on EBAY.

    And, mb makes it more difficult for buyers to steal from sellers.

    Legit buyers are still well protected on mb transactions that
    are funded by a credit card.

    Wow this guy doesnt even worry about covering his tracks.
  • WOW!! Selling the same card 3 times!?!?

    That was the funniest Ended listings I've ever seen for anyone. I've never seen the exact same card sold 3 times in a week?

    Hopefully someone turns the Crook in.

    anyone got the stones to hit his BIN's on the remaining 3 cards and leave neg's?
  • Done!


  • << <i>Done! >>



    Nice! Even if he does "contract" eBay, they won't do anything (remove negs) if you prove to them he is using stolen scans and/or other deceptions. I would call them and explain to make sure they don't remove them. Also be sure to tell them you found out AFTER you paid. Otherwise they will know you bought just to leave feedback and they REALLY frown on that.

  • Does anyone know where that thread is where this guy was trying to sell PSA Jordans on here? I would like to see if it's the same one he sold on eBay as a private auction.
  • That actually wasn't the original thread. There is a thread somewhere with scans of a t206 Cobb and a few others that he was trying to pimp out.
  • Fake PSA Jordan

    PSA Jordan offered for sale on this very board (9 posts down)

    Same serial number. No question this seller is the same guy who was here trying to sell fake PSA slabbed cards and phishing for information regarding what people are doing to get these guys in trouble with the law.

    Oh my god... you have to be kidding me. eBay is AWFUL! They are clearly in on it, meaning THEY ARE THIEVES THEMSELVES!!! They should be sued for allowing people to be scammed like this!
  • Yup, the negs were removed.

    and we'll get the last laugh.

    Call and have them put back. I have done that before. Explain to them that you bought them and then found out the items were fake.
  • How can eBay protect thieves like this??? It's absolutely uncalled for. The guy is selling tens of thousands of dollars in fakes, and they won't let anyone know by deleting his feedbacks??? What the hell is wrong with them? They should be libel!

    ....................................

    They will usually reinstate the NEGs, if you can get the
    right person on the phone.

    Provided that the buyer was notified about the fraud AFTER the
    listing ended, there is no de facto TOS violation charged against
    the buyer.

    ................................................................

    One of the Jordan's appears to have been purchased by one of
    the SCUM's alts. (It is buying its own stuff to hike the FB that is
    related to high-value items.)

    If that issue is raised, EBAY may have no choice but to NARU the SCUM.

    The SCUM has also allegedly been requesting that paper payments be
    deposited to moneybookers, or sent directly to him.

    (Remember, it is in EBAY's interest to assure that the SCUM continues
    the fraud.)

    .........................

    The SD Prosecutor's office and the CA AG's office should both
    be notified.

    ......................

    Additional reports can be made at

    www.ic3.gov

    .........................................

    A complaint to USPS might get some results.

    The SCUM is part of a major crime wave. It is possible that it
    has previously been involved in filing fraudulent USPS INS-claims.

    One way to not get ripped off by scum like this is to simply not buy from them.

    Plenty of people in the business we can purchase from, it's those people that

    need to put food on the table. Why buy from some jamoke on ebay that

    can't even take PP, claims to take moneybookers only to later claim he can't even take that.

    Anyone that gets taken needs a refresher course on how to buy things.


    <shaking head in disbelief>


    Yeah I'm blaming the buyers, especially at this point. Those taken early on are excused.

    How is he able to get away with this????? This should be a federal crime....
  • Someone needs to buy them, and when he tells them he has to get cash or MOs for them, turn that info over to eBay. After everything runs it's course, THEN leave negative feedbacks. They won't take it down after seeing the proof he is asking for different payment options.
