eBay/Craigslist Ebay fraud....L5030?

[orangebluegreen]

Now did someone just highjack your TBN account and post the other e-mail address? ha!

Just been deleting the e-mails because I’ve been warned they were likely scams, but you’re right I should check them out. The thing that was weird is they say your e-bay account will be shut down if you don’t update but we don’t have an e-bay account. That’s why I just hit delete. Hmmm that kinda sounds like what Dargo is saying. The company she used paypal on is very shaky in my opinion but many animal breeders use them. They only use e-mail and have no other contact method, very unnerving. The bank actually called to verify we placed an order with them and we had no problems, but probably won’t use them again. I don’t think they are a scam money wise, but I suspect maybe they have some restrictions on what they are selling? Not sure.

I have always argued the best way to control fraud on Ebay is to require a flat listing fee (for vehicle etc.) catagories to be paid up front plus an nice escrow $ amount.

Hit those scum-bags where it hurts the most, in the wallet.

If a buyer is dumb enough to take delivery of a car outside of regular business hours that's his problem. If some idiot sends a scammer $5,000 for a tractor that he knows is worth $20,000 then he is trying to screw the seller so he gets his just desserts.

Yup. It's a lot harder to scam an honest person. Not impossible, but much harder. Stupid tricks like this won't do it.
