lol I know someone that scammed 2.5 Grand off of eBay last week and withdrew the money before closing his account with PayPal and his fake bank account!!
It isn't seasonal, it's just that the SEO ranking jumped up recently. And it's for a common niche of products.
And m0rtal, can you PM me again? My inbox was full...
2.5 grand from eBay or from some poor fuckers that were using eBay?
If he was selling shit he didn't own or something then he's a fucking cunt and deserves what he gets (be that legal or karmic justice). Some fucker did that to me last year and eBay were fuckin useless. Now I've got to go to the police to track him down so I can put in a claim at the small claims court... hoping the bank checked his id docs properly and it wasn't a fake passport or something.
If he actually ripped-off eBay some how that's different, they'd be insured for losses etc.. but how would you do that? I'm guessing it wasn't eBay he ripped off.
If your friend stole that cash from other eBay users then I hope he slipped up somewhere.. forgot to use a proxy one time (or used one that will hand over logs) or something and I hope one of his victims won't just let it go.
