Is the Federer/Agassi ball auction the scammer's also? It was listed subsequent to the Woods auction, but I see it includes linkage to a photobucket account registered to SteakNchop7. Did the scammer copy photobucket links from your older auctions to make his scam appear legitimate?

I have almost all of my accounts with the same password. I actually don't know if that ball is linked onto my photobucket account, as I can still get on with my password and I never saw it. Maybe someone who knows how to hack an account knows how to do something like that possibly? I guess the person is continuing to list the corned beef hash backgrounds. Also, I am not an eBay addict and don't check it everyday. I have better things to do than look at my eBay account. I reported this to eBay customer service earlier today. I would assume they will respond in the next couple days. I would appreciate if my honesty is unquestioned, is that okay? How would you feel if first of all someone got onto your account and now a bunch of people are trying to get you in trouble for something you didn't do? I can sue you for telling untruthful things about me. Do you want to go there? I would also like if a moderator deleted this thread, as I don't want a false rumor to spread. If anybody spreads any of this, which I insist is untrue, I certainly will sue. My sister is a high stature lawyer and I will have no problem doing this and making more money than any frickin "Barrack" Obama baseball would sell for if I even listed it. Or how about I sell a Jesus Christ/God signed baseball next? How about that? Do you think I'm a frigging moron? I have been in this hobby for a while and no Obama autograph looks like that. And do you think with my spotless reputation I would even think, even think of posting sports autograph auctions that are fake on an account that beared my name? Are you that naive? Why would I use my name to do it? Being a member of several sports card forums, I know that things like this get posted. I mean, if I saw this I would have posted it too. So why don't you just quit trying to accuse an innocent person and save yourself the fifty G you'd have to pay when I sue you!??????? Okay, now STHU and delete this thread.

At the risk of being sued by your "high stature" big sister lawyer. Your exact words can be found above and I quote "I guess the person is continuing to list the corned beef hash backgrounds".

So... if the "Highjacker" is continuing to list the corned beef backgrounds, and you claim that you reported the highjacking to ebay yesterday morning, then why does your feedback show 'corned beef' completed sales as far back as January 3rd of this YEAR!

Also, 91 out of 99 positive feedbacks you have accumulated in the last month are via "corned beef/seashore" backgrounds that sold for anywhere from .01 - .45 cents!

I also noticed repeat buyers of your backgrounds and I have no doubt that a little more research would find that those buyers are "padding" their feedback with their penny auction winnings.

Now, I would never insinuate that you would do such a thing, as I sure don't want to get sued by your 'high stature' big sister lawyer!

There is a flip-side to all of this legal mumbo-jumbo. We, the community at net54 is blessed and/or cursed with a plethora of attorneys. Some of which may even defend me pro bono if I find myself in a legal bind.

Once again, I want to make it perfectly clear that I am not accusing you of any wrong doing, I am simply stating the facts, period.

With my warmest personal regards, Jimmy

Attn Leon. I haven't listed my last name as of yet due to the gentleman not even listing his first name. Please advise.

Speaking not about autographs, not about auctions, and not about corned beef, but only about your rant and writing style, I would suggest you ask your sister for the definition of:

"res ipsa loquitur."

[thetruthisoutthere]

If your Ebay account was really hacked as you claim it has been, then you should be "thanking" us, because without this thread you wouldn't have known about your Ebay account being hacked. Think about that. That Tiger Woods was listed on Jan. 29. 2010. This thread started yesterday (Feb.3, 2010). If your Ebay account has been hacked then we have served you correctly and properly by alerting you to the hack. No one here has ruined your rep. The hacker has ruined your rep (if your Ebay account was hacked). If this thread wasn't posted yesterday (if your Ebay account was really hacked) this would all continue without your knowledge and you would continue to be in the dark about it. So if your Ebay account was really hacked you should be "thanking" us.

After that post, I think you can delete the word "spotless" in future messages. Sheesh.

Why do I always find these types of threads so difficult to understand? At this point I have no idea who is doing what to whom.

Recap for Barry:

1) Some really bad autograph auctions are listed on Ebay. (Musial, Obama, Tiger Woods, et al.)

2) Seller comes on here to claim that it's his account, but that it's been hijacked.

3) This leads people to look at his other auctions and his feedback. The item he sells the most of? A picture of a plate of corned beef hash. He has sold many in the past. He has many more listed. This type of thing is a fraud used to build feedback. Ebay has not recognized that feedback seems to be equal whether the item bought/sold is a $10,000 baseball card or a 15 cent, electronic picture of hash. He has even "purchased" a $1 bill for $6.10, so he is working both sides of the scam.

4) He has continued to list new "hash" pictures, even after his account was "hijacked." This leads us to believe his account has not been hijacked.

5) When it is pointed out to the seller, he loses it. Claims his reputation is "spotless!" His sister is a lawyer of "high stature!" He threatens to sue everyone and is sure he will collect $50,000 from each. (This business model will surely generate more revenue than the 15 cent pictures, right?)

[Jim VB]

Just to protect yourself, anyone posting in this thread shoud post their $50,000 in an escrow account! I'm sure Leon will hold the money until the lawsuits clear.

Well written, Jim. If his account was really hacked then why was a new "Hash Background" auction listed just yesterday? Crooks hack accounts to sell high-end junk. Why would the hacker list a "Hash Background" auction that "you" started to list on Jan. 1, 2011? Geez.

[ctownboy]

What I find amusing is the seller with the hacked account knows what Tiger Woods autograph from the 1990's looks like.

I follow sports and have watched Tiger Woods play golf on TV for years. My Nephew even has his Sports Illustrated for Kids rookie golf card. The funny thing is, I have NO CLUE what a REAL Tiger Woods autograph looks like whether it be from 2009 or 1999. Now, the seller with the hijacked account not only knows what a real Tiger Woods autograph looks like but also can tell the difference of one from the last few years and one from the 1990's.

The relative points being;

1) If my eBay account were hacked and I didn't know about it and first learned about it on this board, I would be grateful

2) If a person hacked my account and was offering a Tiger Woods autograph on it, I wouldn't know if it was real or not and I definitely wouldn't know if it varied from his autograph from over 10 years ago.

David

Edited to add the following.

For those who know how to navigate around a computer, is there a way to see what IP address was used to list the fake autographs and the corned beef hash pictures? Why I ask is because if the corned beef hash pictures have been listed since early January and the fake autograph pictures have shown up just recently but BOTH came from the SAME IP address then that will be a BIG clue as to WHO is listing what.

[barrysloate]

Thanks Jim, well summarized. Now since this guy is threatening lawsuits, shouldn't he be putting his name out?

With you all the way, Barry. Can't tell the player without a scorecard. Thanks, Jim VB, for the translation. My only contribution to this thread will be this free photo of a plate of chorizo and eggs. Looks like hell, tastes like heaven.

[mr2686]

Throw in some warm tortillas with that chorizo and eggs and you've really got heaven.

First of all, I did post on my other forums that this happened. If you go to General Sports Card Talk on SCF, my most active site you will see a thread I posted just to let everyone know. Why does corned beef hash backgrounds continuing to sell mean anything? I have the template on there saved so it just takes a click or two. I also have many of them as future auctions. I do not know what melmotmel is.

If anybody posts a reply to this thread, other than a moderator (which there doesn't seem to be any of) you will not come out happy. I am always nice to my fellow collectors, but when someone tries to hurt me in anyway I will not stand here like a sissy and let you guys run right over me. If you want to try anything, do it on my home court where I don't have 20 people trying to figure out ways to proove that I am "the hacker" and posted these auctions. I didn't, BTW.

[SteakNchop]

Also, Visa gift cards normally sell for more than $25. There is an activation fee and everything. I actually sold one for $29 a month or two ago. (hacker relisted it?)

Did you really bid $6.02 on that dollar bill auction? If you got hacked, it might have something to do with going along with such a ridiculous scheme. Or was that post-hack?

Anyways, if they've hacked all of your accounts, did they hack your paypal account as well? If they're listing all these fake items on your ebay account, I imagine they would be using your paypal info as well. Have there been any suspicious transactions from your bank account? I would suggest you definitely check into that.

The moderators are laughing too hard to respond to your threats.

(And, for the record, I'm already unhappy. I became that way as soon as I saw those fake autographs. Thanks for the comic relief.)

I think I represent this remark. Oh ye' of great wisdom, you might want to research what you are saying about suing people before you waste your money.

Then please explain this to us. On Jan. 1, 2011 and thereafter, you listed quite a few auctions for a "Corned Beef Hash Background." I will assume that is your auction. Then on Feb. 3, 2011 there was another "Corned Beef Hash Background" listed for auction on Ebay. Are you telling us that the "hacker" listed the one posted on Feb. 3, 2011? Why would the hacker list one of your "Corned Beef Hash Background" auctions? There's no money in it? If a Ebay account is compromised it is because the "hacker" wants to sell high-end junk. Also, as of today, why hasn't your situation been rectified by Ebay if you have contacted them? This is very confusing to all of us.

You forgot the Tobasco sauce. IS anything with chorizo and eggs even edible without good 'ole hot sauce?
