[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 1230783, member: 9037"] This is not an easy thread for me to post to but I feel I should. My son got in trouble with e-bay fraud he stole close to 100,000 dollars from people scamming them selling things he did not have. He got caught but only because he scammed a US Marshall. He was convicted of just this one charge for about 1200 dollars he spent time in jail made restituiton and is now trying to get his life back by living a straight and narrow life. I know about 100,000 because he was honest with me when he got out of jail and he told me how he did it. Usually high ticket items like laptops and plasma TVs he only accepted cashier cheks or money orders and cashed them at check cashing stores. At first he also used paypal using diffrerent names like mine his uncles his grandfather and his girlfriend from hell's family. The reason he got got away with it is that some of the people just wrote the money off others did call the police but were not willing to fly down here to testify. So on e-bay check the feedback and don't buy from someone who will not use a secure second party money site [/QUOTE]
