Right, Ive been banned from ebay recently (because i was selling goods in the wrong catagory) and I stupidly wanted to get an IPOD off this idiot via email. I paid for the goods etc and the stupid IPOD never got delivered. I reported him to the police (which were useful to an extent) and Ive tried contacting ebay with no success. I tried to contact the fraud user through email, phone and mobile (all of which were useless), his mobile was turned off for 2 weeks, his home number was someone elses and he didnt read his emails. I was in an unfortunate position given Id paid him and had no IPOD.

Then one day, the stupid idiot ebay seller contacted me saying his bank account had been frozen (I had his bank details and reported him), so I gave him an ultimatum, either give me the money back or I take things further with the police (which I couldnt because there was no way of proving anything - the police told me to say this by the way). A little white lie in return got me my money back.

The problem now is I cant report this idiot to ebay cos my account has been suspended. His ebay name is singh_89

I recently found out he is doing the same dirty tricks again, go to this link and see the scammer in action...

[URL]http://cgi6.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=singh_89&completed=0&sort=3&since=-1[/URL]


He also tried to sell me mobile phones (which were probably stolen anyway)



All Im asking is for someone with a valid account to report him to ebay, Ive tried phoning them (and so has the police) but cant get through. Or if not at least contact the people who are bidding on his items, I dont want them being scammed like I did. If possible could you give them my email address [email protected] so I can tell them what happened to me.

Much appreciated, this is the last thing I could think of doing!

No matter, I've contacted eBay Customer Services and listed all his auctions. I asked them to contact you if they needed verification.

Why would I buy an IPOD without noticing all the blatant ovbvious "scammer" signs. I was a fool, i am new to ebay and must have scrolled down using my mouse and it changed the catagory listing.

I tell you what, this scammer isnt very experienced in the matter. He was almost crying when I mentioned Id reported him to the police. He begged and begged for me to "drop the charges" (There was no possibilty the police could have charged him anyway)

I told him on the phone "your home phone number is fake" and he just paused with a trembling voice. God, this kids got no idea what trouble hes in.

I know I was a fool. I had been banned from ebay before this and wanted an IPOD sooooo bad, so I did it via email instead. I knew he had no feedback, but it was a chance i was willing to risk. And when I have an idea in my head, its hard to convince myself otherwise.
