eBay Fraud attempt in progress
Hello, I know this is an older thread, but it will be one that probably will never die.
I listed a ATV for sale on eBay motors with a buy it now price of $1000. Within 8 hours of listing this ATV for sale, somebody used the buy it now for $1000 on 9/15.
That right there seemed weird to me as there were other 50cc ATV's for sale and they were not going up near $1000.
The eBay purchaser garrylapse5 (No longer ebay registered) contacted me and he wanted to send me extra money on the cashiers check so I could pay his shipper direct.
I got the check in the mail yesterday 9/20. It was mailed from England via Air Mail. It was in the amount of $3800. Hmm... this is looking really bad now.
The check looked funny, so instead of depositing it via ATM, I went into the bank today and told them that I am concerned about this check. Sure enough they confiremd that it was a fake. They confiscated the check right there.
Now, this low life scum bag is still contacting me via email. They are requesting that in a couple days when the check 'clears' that I can Western Union the $2800 shipping fee to some account. (Waiting for the details.)
I want to get this scum bag, so they can't steal money from anybody else.
Who should I contact and how do I get this process going?
Thanks,
Larry
