Ebay Scammer
 
I recently won an auction for some very nice 34P Props at a good price. I was sent an invoice, paid immediately via Paypal and then received an email from "the seller" stating that his Ebay/Paypal account was compromised and that I should wait for further direction.

I told him I already paid with Paypal. He then sends me a link to a Western Union site and tells me to pay them with his info.

I bought the props from a guy in CT, and this clown is from Spain!!!

He keeps emailing me about my address, phone number, etc...

His email address is [email protected]

Is there anyway to send this A$$hole a virus or something? I hate people that try to prey on others!!!!

If anyone has a suggestion let me know. Others may listen to this guy and get screwed! I sent all these emails to the guy I bought the props from, he was a little freaked out.

If you already paid with paypal you are in luck. They will return your money.
I bought my kids a WII on ebay and the guy vanished! a couple emails ad my money was back in my account.
I think the insurance they provide is automatic after a certain dollar amount

Make sure you report him to ebay ..... what is his ebay ID?

call paypal now if you have not, but other than that there's not much you can do....unless you find a good hacker !!

No we are good with the payment. I spoke to the actual guy and all is well. this other guy keeps asking for payment though.

Tell him you have a money order ready for him but you would like him to send dhl to pick it up. Costs him money to do that for one. Next fill a small box with crap , a couple used spark plugs , a spring , used batteries , maybe a brick? That will cost him weight to get it to him , and just imagine how pissed he'll be when he gets this box of crap instead of a check.

Once I told a scammer I thought he was a scammer and wanted him to send me pics to prove he was real. I asked him to send me a pic wearing a red t shirt , bucket on his head , waving with his right hand , and grabbing his junk with the left. I said if he did this I would send the item. Got the pic , funny as hell.

I told him I wanted to send him certified check or cash yesterday. He asked me at least three times if I sent the money. I told him yes.

Today he emails me that I didnt send anything and I'm an
A$$hole...

I guess he realized I never got an address to send to. Idiot!

Whenever you guys get a chance, sign this guy's email up for everything you can please.
