Re: scamming buyer
 

But it's stealth info, can he just let the police that know that he is just DBA? Or does that even matter.

Re: scamming buyer
 

I don't think that matters much. I'd put time into something like this and not let that go

Re: scamming buyer
 

I would call the police also.

Re: scamming buyer
 

Well I mean if he's submitting a police report they would then already know.

Re: scamming buyer
 

Agree - calling is not likely to do much since report has to be made, etc.

Re: scamming buyer
 

911 what's your emergency? Someone stole my phone...come quick!

Re: scamming buyer
 

Not so much a phone call that is needed as a report ;)

Re: scamming buyer
 

The smart thing would be to charge it to the game & try to prevent it from happening again. Anything else will most likely cost you more time, effort, and frustration then its worth. But with that said I probably would show up at their front door. But I don't handle my anger well lol. I personally wouldn't involve the police in anything ever. The only thing I cant stand more than eBay and scammers is cops. Those pig *******s are pretty useless when you need them.

I know sarcasm doesn't translate well online, but I thought I laid it on pretty heavy there

and what smiley face is that you used? Looks like its tryna finger blast someone lol

Re: scamming buyer
 

Sadly, that's the only reason anything in America exist.

Re: scamming buyer
 

The way I interpret it that's the no-no finger smiley.

And yeah you're right sarcasm conveys terribly in text-only format. I quit FB because nobody knew when I was joking heh.

Re: scamming buyer
 

I know man, I know. It's all a cash grab. If it doesn't make money for the people on top, it doesn't make sense in America.

What can you do other than trying to make a little $ yourself.

Re: scamming buyer
 

Well i got my money back! they asked to file a police report which i did and emailed it to them with a link provided well days went by so i submitted it again on saturday still no word so today i give them a call and they put me on hold for a few minutes and say they have decided in my favor and credited my paypal account take that scammers!

Re: scamming buyer
 

Word.

Maybe now buy him a surprise mystery box from the dark web :bounce:

Re: scamming buyer
 

We had an issue with a guy on eBay harassing sellers of a particular item. For over a year and a half this guy would message sellers saying their item was ⊗⊗⊗⊗ and saying he was reporting them to the police and eBay. He would also place orders from the same sellers with no intention of ever paying, just to leave bad reviews!

Little did this guy know that the sellers of these items were messaging each other about this troublemaker, including me. We exchanged information such as his name, address, phone number, etc. gathered from sales history. A group of us then decided to call eBay about this harasser on the same day- His account ended up going NARU (not a registered user) the next day, presumably because of the mass of complaints. :)

As great as eBay is, there are people who just make your blood boil.

Re: scamming buyer
 

It's possible the scammer would be thrilled to receive a free box of drugs randomly.

:confused:

Re: scamming buyer
 

Wait, I thought that you can't leave a negative feedback if you don't pay for the item.

And darn, a lot of work to nail one idiot. LIke they said I guess... 1 bad apple ruins the rest.

Re: scamming buyer
 

Always nice seeing competition work together to stop a scammer...that in its self is a amazing act, especially on eBay.

Re: scamming buyer
 

Haha. Drugs, random smelly crap and demented stuff.

Re: scamming buyer
 

Oh thaaaaat kind of darknet shipment.

Lol I'd just send them a glitterbomb and/or spring loaded poop from the clearnet and be done with it.

Re: scamming buyer
 

Lol. Wish it could be videotaped.

That dude made a killing on glitter bombs!

Re: scamming buyer
 

This reminds me of the guy who was a NASA employee who had a problem with packages being stolen from his doorstep. He inventated a nice "care package" rigged with cameras, GPS, GLITTER BOMB & FART SPRAY.

He put up a video showing what happened when the theif took this package. LMAO... :thumb:
