well i've offered him 3 grand, just wanna mess them around as much as possible, if we all do it they might get the hump!!!!!!!!!!

We need a new thread for this fraudster now lol

Can we not arrange a group meet and a good number of us top up, takes the plates of the bike some where not to far away, turn up give him a few slaps and roar off into the sunset?

just had this reply from my question about wanting to view the bike!!

Dear vtwinthunder13,

PLEASE DO NOT BID/CHASE THIS SALE. IT APPEARS THAT MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN HACKED AND THIS IS NOT A REAL LISTING.I AM NOT SELLING THIS BIKE, AND HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF IT. I AM CURRENTLY UNDER INSTRUCTION FROM EBAY REGARDING THE ISSUE. ALTHOUGH I APOLOGIZE FOR THE LISTING.

so how does it work if he is hacking an existing account? did they pick one that has very little activity so that they will be able to list the bike, intercept the messages etc? but you always get an e-mail from e-bay for every one of those events.........just wondering how they get round all the protection?


I should stress that my interest is just to understand how they manage to dupe the process, I am not trying to do a copycat scam

they choose an account that hasn't been used for a while, hack into it and change the email address, that way the owner of the account get no emails from ebay and is none the wiser, simples

Same here, I just let the legit account owner know that ebay ignored multiple attempts since last week to warn them that the ad was fraudulent.

Funnily enough 'John' is still emailing me as we are sorting out me paying for the SP2

I think intermediate severs are gobbling up any fake ebay email invoices so he's sent me a copy from:

John Neale
Address: 19 Grange Road
Dundee, Angus
DD5 4LU
Scotland

and wants me to pay

Beneficiary: F. Burrei
Bank Name: Barclays
Account no: 43894037
Sort Code:
20-32-00
City: London (sort code indicates it's a branch in Leicester)

and like ebay, after speaking with Barclays they don't want to know either! Absolutely crazy - I'm in the wrong business if the scammers can operate with impunity shown by ebay or the banks.

Ebay buyer protection my butt. They couldn't give a flying f@#k about the buyer so long as they get their final listing fees.

Be interesting to see if you could walk into barclays and withdraw cash from that account.

Scandalous

I would think that Marra is right on this one. I can sympathise with the real ebayer as I have been on the receiving end of something like this as well. Back in the day that I didn`t buy and sell a lot on ebay, in a moment of boredom I looked at my account details including items for sale (at the time I had none). Up came somewhere in the region of 50 listings for various electrical items including cameras and car stereos with instructions to pay via some obscure means. I even had 2 or 3 emails from as far away as Australia questioning the validity of the items as this scam had appeared before. I contacted ebay who suspended my account while they investigated, had to go through hoops to reset passwords and security measures before they reinstated the account and then the best bit, an invoice appeared from ebay for all the listing fees for the fraudulent items......around £125 if I remember correctly! (although these were refunded)

Oh, and I see the listing has disappeared......for now at least

Some things not quite right about this one. It has the clocks and radiators of a later Firestorm .Wonder why he's not mentioning this.
