Tale One - Best friend with a rating of more than 100 in Tucson was selling high end camera gear from his personal collection (professional photographer). Ebay send notices to all his bidders that he was a security risk and suspended the auction pending investigation. Someone had hacked his account. Needless to say all Bidders backed out & he lost $375.00 sale. Ebay advised him to change his password and refused to refund his listing fee or credit his account..... after 17 days.
Tale Two - I reported a 2005 Bambi for sale with no reserve, three day auction, bids at $2500. Auction ran its' course. Listing showed up in ebay search under "Airstream" but when ad came up, no matter where you clicked it led you to a Yahoo email address.
Tale Three - Same friends Paypal (an ebay company) Seller account compromised and emptied.
...By the way, when I talked with the WBCCI owner, he said it was listed in October. Maybe he was talking about the 1st fake listing? I was under the impression that HE listed it in October...

October was the last time I spoke with them. It had been up for scam auction twice at that time, so that was the last time it was up for scam auction. It also showed it was in Great Britain at that time. that trailer sure does get around a lot...

Did anyone happen to save that whole auction as a pdf or something? I normally do with big ticket items I buy, but never even thought to this time as I didn't expect I bought anything

I'm on a few other forums, so I'm not sure where I saw this, but someone played a few of these scammers for about a week each. All I remember is that he made them send photos of themselves in certain poses, with cardboard signs in front of themselves so he would know they were real. I think he was referring to them as monkey men or something. I read a good deal of a thread and these guys are just in sweat shops somewhere working on scams all day.
If you find my trailer -- let me know -- I'll call of Ebay security... (all I hear is crickets when I call them -- what's up with that?!)
He moved to England, I wonder how his sisters health problems are? He also has the Polaris Ranger 6 x 6 for sale, I wanted a shot at the John Deere tractor. Keep your eyes open!
Anybody want to take it up to $50,000.00 with me? It takes two to run it up...
