New Ebay Troll

[novon]

After Buying This Auction (a $2000 laptop for $1300) I get an email telling me to Western Union the money to an off-shore account before shipment (yeah right). If anyone wants to teach this troll a lesson, here is his email: carmino1976@yahoo.es

I don't want to do it personally because he might spam me, but if you can seem interested in the auction, and then make him go to western union a couple times that would be funny

are you an idiot? this seller has 366 positive ratings

 

[novon]

Yeah, but look at what he bought, mostly items <$5. I was surprised too, but its deffinetly a scam.

 

[bigrash]

it could be the same guy here: link

probably another hijacked account

 

[Wallydraigle]

Yeah, this has "hijacked account" written all over it. If someone will only accept WU, run far far away.

novon - are you POSITIVE that's the guy who is selling the laptop? Or was it some guy who emailed you after the auction was over about the laptop?

 

[novon]

yeah, he responded to an email I sent him at that address...

Go to this link
http://cgi3.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?MemberSearchShow and get their personal information and cal them or get the real name of the seller and contact them

I will NEVER buy a big ticket item without seeing REAL pictures of the item I am paying for.

 

[iwearnosox]

If the account is hijacked that info will already have been changed.

Don't pay if you're not comfortable with it. I've sent your post over to the PTB, they'll look into it for you.
