SHUFF Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 He's been reported, thrice. This set was sold on the 22nd of February for over $6K. That deal appeared legit, the seller was in Arizona. Last fraud I reported was pulled within thirty minutes. Let's see how long this one takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHUFF Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 This is what I just sent them. Come on guys, if we all work together maybe we can bid this set up to a BILLION Item number(s): 5755884276 Message: Why don't you do something? I've alerted you to this FRAUD and provided proof. I think I will bring some attention to this matter by bidding $1,000,000 on this item #. Thanks for your rapid response to crimes being committed on your site.

klipschaholik Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 I sent in a fraud report last night, still listed. Create a new Ebay account, one that you won't use and start bidding. We can pay with Monopoly money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHUFF Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Why a new account? Let's just do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHUFF Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I am having an email dialog with the scumbag right now. I've offered him $8,000.00 cash, his choice Pounds, Euros or U.S. dollars. Says he wants a MoneyGram after the auction's over. I've offered to pick the speakers up tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Note that the winner of the first auction was "bigben(something)". Could be a buyer in England thinking he got a good deal, trying a quick resale at a higher price (flipping) to make a quick profit. Why use another ID as a seller though? He should set a reserve too if that is what he trying to do. There is an outside chance this is a legit but low class thing. You can always use the ask the seller a question feature and simply ask if this is the same equipment ("kit" in England I do believe) that was recently sold as Item # whateveritwas. It goes right on the auction page and perhaps warns potential buyers that it does not look right. I'll post the question if you don't want to since you have already contacted him. This could be like something out of the Hardy Boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klipschaholik Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 I emailed the original seller and buyer asking if either one new that the same equipment was up for sale. No replies as of yet. I still smell a rat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already used this to contact him regarding my "buy it now" offer. I've received four emails from him so far and believe me, he's not English. The original seller was in Arizona U.S.A. and though certainly not impossible, I doubt this set of speakers has already made it to England, the original auction just ended on February 22, 2005.

sputnik Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 The plot thickens. If he blocks the questions, the rat odor increases. Keep posting - I'm on the edge of my chair. I just got semi-scammed on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHUFF Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 The original buyer "bigben1110" is stateside. He's been a ebayer since 2002 and has feedback. The scumbag seller became a member of ebay 3 DAYS after the original auction ended on the 22nd. No "flipping" going on here. I am waiting to hear back from him as to my offer to pick them up and deliver his $8K tomorrow. He doesn't seem to want to talk to me now. Go ahead and contact him and make him an offer but tell him you're NOT in England, I bet he'll be more receptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klipschaholik Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Someone should offer to put up a downpayment with a Western Union wire transfer, say $1,500 to hold the speakers until they can be picked up. See if that doesn't get a quick response from the rat. Then, get an address from him to send the payment to and send the information to Ebay or the local authorities. My cover is already blown so I can't contact him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputnik Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I just sent a polite question to the seller asking about the shipping cost to Montana. I'll let you know if they respond. I doubt that I'll hear anything - isn't about 1:30 am in the UK right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klipschaholik Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Here's the response I just received from Bigben! OOOOhhh No I didn't. I just payed for them today by cashiers check. I will look at it now. Thanks for the notice. Please respond to the question on eBay by clicking the button below. Thank you, bigben1110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
