scammer on ebay

Here is one link ebay auction

Check out all his completed auctions. The pictures and prices are all over the place.

This guy is selling ipods, rolex's and large gold bars at too good to be true prices. I bought one only because it wasn't immediate payment. The guy emailed me demanding a wire transfer and keeps asking when I will transfer the money. I reported him to eBay already. If you feel so inclined please do the same.

    I agree, however he emailed after the auction insisting he would only accept a wire transfer. That is what pushed it over the edge for me.

    Nothing to worry about. With a feedback of only three, paypal will hold the funds until buyer gets item. Low feedback sellers are the only ones to take a chance on.

    Rampant currency debasement will be the most important investment trend of this decade, and it will devastate most people.

    Buy dollar insurance now, because the policy will cost more as the dollar becomes worth less.

    "immediate payment is required with in 2 hrs of end of listing"

    Wow - must be going somewhere fast - perhaps selling stolen goods and one step ahead of the law?

    His 10oz Perth bars he says he purchased on Ebay a few years back.....oh yeah, right.

    Nothing would indicate that he purchased these ever.

    Maybe he used one of his other accounts to make the purchase.

    It looks like the scammer has sold over 100k worth of stuff in the past few days.


    List of sold items

    His gold bars all show the same serial number and look to be stock pictures.

    Listed the auctions using a mobile Iphone too , the only thing i wonder is the completed sales go back to Jan 12th , no feedback on those . . . neither good nor bad feedback.That's quite curious.

    The high bidders on the watch he has selling currently ( at $3,850 !) have less than 12 feedbacks....beginners?, or something else????

    Nice, hopefully no one actually paid this guy. At any rate even if they did they should get their money back, but it just takes time. I wish there was an ongoing thread where people could post obvious scammers and bring them to the attention of the coin community. Does this exist already and I have just missed it? image

    Doesn't matter if they did. The seller fell under the PayPal 21 day hold rule so didn't even have access to the funds.
