Re: Russell12 was hacked! and the hacker is scamming people!
This scam reminds me of the one that was showing up on eBay not too long ago. The scammers would get access to legitimate and well established accounts, then make bogus listings urging buyers to do business outside eBay via some link or email associated with the scammer. -
Re: Fraudster JM33
Good work, @Yorkshireman - I was just coming here to blow the bugle, but I see you're already on top of that. Thankfully I had already read that thread before I was approached by the spammer recently, so the similar language in the PM I got tripped my spidey-sense. Y'all should note that the @JM33 username is only the… -

<< <i>Isn't that something of a Catch-22? >> You cannot post in the advertising sections or auction area until you have been a member for a certain amount of time and have posted a certain amount of messages in the other areas of the forum. It cuts down on the hit and run scammers and spammers. << <i> Also I could not get… -
Re: Updated 10-12 - she's back with an email: Who would like to help "discourage" this Ebay sc
I got 2 negs for harrassing a scammer once. I sent eBay all of the emails explaining the revenge biding and negs and they didn't care about that. After a week, they finally did remove the feedback, but not because of the revenge angle. It was because they couldn't verify the contact information. So if youradick/yourajerk… -
Re: Same card graded by 4 Different Grading Companies - The Result
You are exactly right. Slabbing came about because of the dire need for authentication. The grading part of it was far secondary to that at the time. Quick story told to me by a coin shop owner who I knew well. This was a few years before slabbing came about. Stranger walked into his shop with a 1909S VDB. Well the… -
Re: Stolen BGS 9.5 1986-87 Fleer #57 Michael Jordan Rookie Card Serial #0009527212 - Be On The Lookout
I just realized my post above is erroneous as the Gretzky was not the card the OP shipped to the scammer but the 86 Jordan. Anyway the bottom line is the OP has no proof he shipped the Jordan to the scammer or proof the scammer did not ship the correct card to him. If the scammer holds his story and stays cool I do not see… -

<< <i> << <i>Kind of what I was saying. Someone might buy one like this, carefully open it and go slab the coin, take a nice looking 2000-P Sac, slide it in... seal 'er up and BAM! What's even scarier is that if the scammer then sells it and someone else who opens it and tries to slab it and finds out it's a normal Sac,… -
Re: eBay hijinks?
I am fairly certain a $4k card requires a signature pick-up/delivery. A tampered package would be obvious. They meticulously tape the bottom and then put the mailing label over top. So theft appears to be ruled out as that should have been detected before or at delivery. What is left is that (i) it's still at PSA… -

<< <i>Someone needs better Spam detection in their inbox. These go straight to my Spam box in gmail. >> Yup. Unfortunately Spammers know the law of numbers. If you blast out 10 million spoof emails and 5 people click on it and you get the information of two of those people, your effort has paid off. << <i>The scammers must… -
Re: eBay luck finally ran out... (Updated - SUCCESS!)
"5288laura" Most likely this scammer isn't a "Laura", but is a guy. Scammers like using women's names because the impression is that a woman is less likely to be a scammer than a guy, which could be true, but in any event that's why scammers sometimes use women's names. Scammers also use women's names as part of the con…
