I'll tell you something right now, NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD LEAVE THEIR REAL STREET ADDRESS FOR SOME SCAM LIKE THIS. That isn't his address. He's an AOLER what did you expect? He's a scammer looking for credit card and ebay passwords. @aol.com explains it all. He's probably some 13 or 12 year old kid looking to buy gay porn or something. LOL at him though.

Like I said, he would have to be the most stuipdest kid alive to use his real info on a domain that was going or is being used for fraud.

It's a pretty slick scam, I just filled out ficticious info & submitted it, got redirected to the real eBay home page.

They get enough info to do some serious damage.

why don't we all fill it in lots of times and he'll have 100's of fakes to go through

might piss him off a bit

edit: even better, set up a brute force to submit random junk hundreds of times per minute, leave it going for a few days

100 users * 300 per minute = 30,000 per min

X 3 days = 129600000 fake submits

I always follow through with all those kinda scams. I used the fields provided to tell those guys how I feel about them. I suggest you guys do the same, maybe if we flood their servers they'll stop scaming people :)
