Ebay Scammers

Ebay Scams and me
I've seen a few car scams on this forum as well as a civic club. I've actually seen a guy steal pictures out of the members rides section of 7thgencivic and then post the car for sale on ebay.

SO, I thought I would post up the site that a buddy of mine has been working on with me. We're hoping that car clubs, or whatever will post up some scams they find in the forums to help people out. We ended up catching 3 cars illegally being sold on ebay the week after the civic one. So we decided to start up a forum where they could try to trace them down.

www.scamboards.com

The site really can't be found right now in search engines, but we're planning on getting the site "live" in like a week.


There is still a lot more that has to be added, but I'd love for people to check it out and be so kind as to register. Hopefully if the number or people grows some, we can really put a dent in the scum on ebay.

That's really what we're hoping for here.


AND... my final request. If you find or hear of any shady stuff going down on ebay.... POST IT or let me know. We want to let people to know that there is a lot of bad stuff going down on ebay.

Just Register, and Notify the board if anything crazy would shop up. We'll take it from there and try to remove them from ebay and whatnot.

I appreciate it a lot.

If you belong to any other car threads or forums, please spread the word. I've seen 2 car problems within the last month on other car forums. So I know it's all over the place.


I don't know if the site info could be in a sticky somewhere for ebay scams or what?

But obviously I can't police the internet myself. This is just a side job that I've been working on with people.

The more the site is out there, I think the bigger dent we can put in the scams going on.

Thoughts? I appreciate it.

yah, there are a lot of ebay scams right now. And 1 in 20 will be a victim of identity theft this year. Pretty scary fact.

The worse is a new keystroke logger being sent in emails now from ebay scam artists. It requires nothing on your part except logging into your ebay acct. It records everything you write and then sends it back to the email scammer.

It's a big issue right now.

Thanks to those that signed up. We got 34k page views this morning
