Default Ben Milch David Rubenstein and Wheretheyaint.com WARNING

Posted By: Bottom of the Ninth

I thought I would warn anyone of fraudulent activity of a former ebay user-- former because as of Feb 10, 2009 he was suspended indefinitely. The user id was wheretheyaint-dot-com and changed to user07030 on Feb 7, 2009. The id is registered to a Benjamin Milch who is also the registered owner of Wheretheyaint.com, LLC. He works with a guy named David Rubenstein and they are located in Hoboken, NJ.

They listed cards on ebay with stolen scans and removed watermarks that were placed on the images. They also blocked out the cert numbers so they could not be identified easily however the cards had other features which made them easily identifiable to the owner. The cards were never in their possession and the owner of the cards never authorized them to sell them.

Ebay has suspended them however they still maintains a site at www.wheretheyaint.com listing hundreds of thousands of dollars of cards. I have no idea if they own these cards, are in possession of them or are even authorized to sell them. If someone truly has inventory worth hundreds of thousands of dollars it would not reason they would perpetrate fraud and risk their reputation and business. I have reason to doubt the material listed on their site is actually available.

At this time I am cooperating with local law enforcement as well as with the FBI and cannot speak about the specifics of the case. While the investigation is going on, and at my earliest opportunity, I wanted to get the word out there to prevent anyone from being victimized by these people.
