Default An empty box.....

Posted By: Jay Miller

I was the winning bidder on two PSA football cards that were part of the scam. The "seller" sent me a similar email and indicated he was in Greece. He used a different name than Toni--I forget what. The payment instructions were the same, however. The cards were sold under the user ID--Knoelani. I used the "find the member" feature available to winning bidders and found the phone number of the owner of this user ID in Jenison, MI. I called and talked to the person's roommate who was familiar with Knoelani's selling habits. He was very surprised when I told him what happened and assured me he would contact her at work so she could contact ebay about this identity theft. Nice surprise for what seemed to be pretty nice people. I hope they catch and fully prosecute this scum before ebay is brought down under the weight of concern over auction integrity.
