Hello,
Just an example of what is being
done with the information these #$&*$&% THIEVES do with the
fake Ebay information updates:
Recently I have been on the hunt for
a Harley Davidson Touring bike on Ebay... as I looked at the different
listings, I came across five different listings for Harleys with extremely low
starting and "buy it now" prices. I looked
at the feedback of each, and they all have hundreds of positive feedback...seems
okay until you ask some questions...all of these listings had very vague
location or regional info. All of these auctions ask that you get
pre-approved for the auction before bidding. They, the sellers, also all
said they would pay for shipping anywhere in the USA.
I emailed all of the "owners,"
and they all responded with... send $10 -30% down through Western Union or MO or
send them credit card info. all guaranteeing satsifaction or your money
back. Another give away that these were all frauds, was each of
these bikes had to be shipped from Italy, Bulgaria, Czechoslavakia..etc... after
they all showed USA on the auction listing... Each of these aucton
listings were under stolen Ebay identities... all were removed from Ebay
after I and apparently others notified Ebay of our suspicions. But
more appeared a day or so later...they just keep trying to scam buyers... Buyers
Beware!
The moral to all of this is two
fold...DON'T respond to ANY personal information updates through email and
"If it seems to be too good to be true...It probably is."
Yes, I found a Harley, and I am
heading to Tampa FL this weekend to pick it up. Why is it you never find
what you are looking for in your own neighborhood!?
John in WI sunny warm and breezy...hoping for
nice weather in Florida and points North this coming weekend so I
can ride that big brute home.

Subject: [FWDLK] fraud report?
Hello,
It was only a matter of time...I have today received a
"DiscoverCard" request for updated information, asking for my SS#,
credit card number, all that and more.
I KNOW this is a FRAUD and a SCAM, as I have been warned
about this stuff by reading comments on the List.
My question is: to whom do I report this, and will it make
any difference?
Roger
