Sootysmtg eBay seller

[wolf441]

I just noticed the Fogmodels hacked account listings. There are about 20 T206 Cobbs, all with different picture backgrounds, including some with the original seller's details (Post it note with name and date). It's sad that there are people out there who fall for this type of scam...

Yup, he's back as Fogmodels. New T206 listings on Ebay.

Can someone please remind me of how to Report someone on Ebay? What are the steps?

I'm no computer expert by any stretch of the imagination but one would think a company/business as large as eBay is would have something a little more stout to defend against things like this.

I know most major banks have such things in place so why not eBay? Is it the money/the cost of running/acquiring such things or is there actually no way to defend attacks like this at times?

They have been hacking accounts and listing the same expensive T206's for a few months now and when ebay takes them down the scammers just hack another account and list them again, I've seen them do it as much as 4 or 5 times a day. I noticed now they are doing it mostly on weekends because it takes longer for ebay to take them down on the weekends.

Not just T206s. '34 Goudey Gehrigs and a complete Diamond Stars set are also frequent listings. Out of curiosity, prior to realizing that it was a scam, I did reach out to them at one point to see if they were willing to negotiate on price, but they held firm. Strange response for a scammer.

I guess the original seller in this thread got their account squared away. Must be kind of messed up dealing with it...unless ebay can just wave a wand (which they probably can)
.

He's back up again, as of tonight. Same offering of Cobbs. Just going to report him again.
