Just an update:
I have confirmed this all to be 100% true.
Also eBay did nothing to help neither did Paypal I assisted Mrs. Thompson in
filling out the forms for the Postal Inspector's Office to have Mail fraud
charges levied against XE2FLR. This guy even went as far as giving her
positive feedback at eBay saying "thanks!"
This old lady walked right into his trap but it will catch up to him in
time.
