Re: Internet Crime Jumps By A Third Last Year ...
My kid got a text message a week ago that he won some Canadian Lottery. Classic scam text came through on his cell phone. And shortly after he even got a call from the scammers. Call came out of Connecticut, did a reverse look up on it. Guess the scammers are really getting hard up for money. HAHA. -
Re: 46 months in prison!
<< <i>Is there restitution as part of the sentence? >> That was my first thought, along with the idea of which sort of prison is it? For all we know, he may be out in 18 months.

Re: Thanks guys for the encouraging words.
My personal experience with scammers has formed my opinion of private feedback combined with lots of penny auctions.

Apologies, Trent. -

Re: A black list for Ebay??
I have correspondences and emails where the scammer even admits he is scamming ( and getting away with it). Some will rub it in your face. Pay pal and Ebay know exactly ( by repeated dealings) who those people are. They get banned, then just change their name; but never their MO. It's who they are. We are talking scammers,… -
Re: selling high dollar card question
Another quick tip to spot a potential scammer with low feedback - Check and see if the guy has "prolifically" been bidding on many auctions recently. Usually most scammers are greedy and "go for the kill" when say they've got a stolen credit card or something like that, or intend to scam and abscond and move to another… -
Re: PSA cards sold, not removed from set, anyone else have this problem?
It's much more likely that one of the cards is a Craigslist type of card. All a scammer needs is a real cert and he can make ten Yaz cards all with the same cert. The registry is a bad thing for scammers because there's a chance their buyer will try to register the card. If multiples pop up and PSA is able to examine both… -
