Well you contacted them through eBay, so there is a start.
You can get someone to email them though ebay, and you may get lucky and get there email address at home.
You could purchase an item at there auction, and then offer to send a cheque. This may give you a name & address.
Or, you could just win an auction, leave some feedback relative to this scam and be with it.
(PM me the name of the seller, or listing number - ill look at it when i get home, i have some old eBay accounts that i dont use - back in the day of 2004...)0 -
An ex work colleague of mine used to go to "dodgy areas" and leave massage cards in 'phone boxes with contact telephone numbers of anyone who had upset them recently!!!
Apparently it was very effective when it came to revenge!0
