I've forwarded emails from bidders trrying to use stolen credit cards to
ebay, and left feedback saying that they were from Indonesia and using
stolen credit cards, but it still seems to take ebay just long enough for
the guy to actually rip someone off before the account is deleted.

Yeh, and the "Bay of "E", too! had folks fishing for all credit-bank
info,
e-bay loggins, passwords, ect, saying going to freeze account, if don't
submit (and same crap from Paypal)! Best thing can tell you : 1),
Never
answer these (in fact, services will bluntly tell you, they NEVER
REQUEST
SUCH INFO)! , and 2)
MAKE SURE you report these "requests", and send copy of the request(s)
to
the services, at their appeopriate addresses, along with the FULL
PROPERTIES
, of the a**holes Senders address!
This only way to protect self from those fishing to Identity theft/
fraud.

Both ebay and PayPal tell you to FORWARD, un-edited, the complete e-mail
to
one of the following:




They will verify your forward, and, later, verify whether or not the
suspicious e-mail originated from them or not (I've never had an
affirmative
verification).

Dan,are we a BIT safer taking Pay Pal only for ebay?

LOL! go to paypalwarning.com

Can't believe anyone would use that after all the news reports on TV warning about paypal I have
seen over the years.

Beware of a person using the name Mike Alonzo with an address in McKees
Rocks, PA. This person is buying radio equipment on eBay and then sending
counterfeit, fraudulent cashier's checks drawn on Commerce Bank in PA.

So put that in the guy's feedback file and report it to Ebay. Then no
warning is needed here, everyone should check the feedback file before doing
business with someone.

Nice to see you speaking for everyone else here.

I posted here as a service to prevent someone else from being duped by this
guy either using eBay or not. But, if you say there is no need to post
here, then I'll refrain in the future, or at least check with you first.

Ebay (Safe Harbor) doesn't care if you get ripped off or not as long as
they get their piece of the pie.
Ebay want you/us to pay $20 to their Safe Harbor division and all they
do is negiciate. The ending program is you will be out your money in the
end. Now that's from experience. It took 5 months to get my money
returned.

I had to go to the FBI to get a guy in Portland CT. to pay or be
arrested and prosecuted.

By now, the crook has undoubtedly reregistered with ebay, and is
continuing the ripoff with a new username.

Thanks Dan, for alerting us to be carefull of people bidding on radio
equipment from McKees Rocks, PA, and wanting to pay by cashier's
check.

He is now a "non-registered user" with ebay. Another word, he has been
kicked out of ebay.
For those who believe in Paypal, think again.
