Scam Alert

Here is a link to a page about a current eBay Scam and the folks behind it. Some one has gone to a lot of trouble to gather the information.

Apparently the guy is opperating in the City of Philadelphia area.

http://justinspence.com/salwise.htm

Page is a bit slow loading, so be patient.
Take from it what you will. Hope this information protects some people.

Cheers!

Great now there is fodder for the blurred license plate from the pet peeve thread. lol.
These people are losers and it will all catch up to them. I feel for the people who lost money. Maybe when they catch up to Michelle the authorities will auction off his Lexxus and pay the people back. Hmmmm maybe thats the lesson in all this...they all should have opnly bought from Ford owners. We wouldnt have scammed em.

Scary part is I actually looked at something this slime was selling on ebay. Good thing I didn't buy. Good thing for him cause I'm unemployed so I'd have time to go to Philly and have a chat with him. It's scum like him that keep me from doing much business on ebay.

What I don't get, but then I'm not from Philly and don't know all their laws, is why they haven't picked him up yet? They've got, at least according to the victims, video from the check cashing places. Go by and see if he matches it. Also, the threats in the emails should be enough to at least talk to him. Maybe get enough PC to do more.

WOW...that is absolutely ridiculous. I hope everything worked out...it looks like the correspondence is still going on. I wonder if they're watching this guy, or waiting for him to mess up again or what. I think that place in Philly is walking distance from me too.

BTW--I laugh everytime you post something mymechanic'sanidiot...we must use the same guy.

Ok, it loaded just fine on dial up. I do alot of sales on ebay but never with an unregistered user. I never deal with 0 feedback and when I do purchase something worth 500. i try to find it close by so I can pick it up. I despise a thief and during my military career i had a problem with one and never had the problem again. I dont think this person should be that hard to find. on his email about the cam corder he uses a (verizon . net) email address u need an address to send the monthly bills. I bet that with the right influence verizon can give out the address the service is billed to. just thought that might help
