They even spelled "portraite" the same way.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-1911-T206-Ty-Cobb-Red-Portraite-Sweet-Caporal_W0QQitemZ5263745841QQcategoryZ86840QQrdZ1Q QcmdZViewItem" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-1911-T206-Ty-Cobb-Red-Portraite-Sweet-Caporal_W0QQitemZ5263745841QQcategoryZ86840QQrdZ1Q QcmdZViewItem</a>

Posted By: <b>Brian</b><p>Two more things can be done<br />1) His ebay auction provides this email address to send paypal payments: checkmate@chartertn.net<br />Here is how to contact his ISP: <a href="http://www.charter.com/contact/contact.aspx?target=webmaster&AcceptsCookies=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.charter.com/contact/contact.aspx?target=webmaster&AcceptsCookies=1</a> I'd say he is abusing his account and probably violating the TOS.<br />2) Here is the link to report paypal abuse: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_help-ext&ui_mode=answer&prior_transaction_id=0&action_c ode=4&answer_id=3591937&leafid=2236&_PPP=511&_PPC= 8388607&_FI=Protection_Policies<br /><br />update: 1) ISP notified 2) Complaint with the ifccfbi filed.

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>Does anyone agree or disagree with reporting "scammers" like this? Or do you let the "uneducated" fall for the scam and learn from their mistakes? My feelings won't be hurt if I'm labeled a vigalante as was the case a few days ago concerning a certain $2000 Green Cobb on Ebay slabbed by SGC that looks bogus/cracked out. <br /><br />So often I just ignore these guys and their very doctored reprint cards. For some reason this one just got under my skin.

Posted By: <b>jackgoodman</b><p>I think this guy got "uder our skin" 'cause he ran his card by this group to see if a) it would fool anyone, b) wanted to know what he needed to "fix" to get it to sell or c) is just stupid. I don't think any of the board likes feeling "used."<br /><br />That said, I'd like to put out there the following question: Do members of the board believe they have a responsibility/desire/calling to be the polcemen of Ebay and take all of the "reporting" actions outlined above or is it a large group of individuals that have outstanding knowledge that is available for those that find it, ask for it or use it?<br /><br />Just asking.<br /><br />
