No wonder they're desparate to have these threads removed.

Google usafashionz + gumtree there are loads of adverts for 'jobs'. There's also at least one person seeling stuff on ebay on their behalf at the moment.

Hi guys, I'm new to the site, thought I'd post after seeing this come up in google search for "ebay scam usafashionz.com"

The ebay seller quoted earlier in this thread is me. I jumped at the chance when the ad was posted on gumtree, im a student and had run an ebay shop for my dad before so I thought I was onto a winner with this one.

Sent my CV off, first thing I noticed was abit weird was that I had posted my CV, and 'Sam Sugars' was insistent that I had to email it even though I had sent it first class and it would have been at her office by then... But I went along with it anyway thinking maybe she works from home or somthing.

Spoke to her on the phone, she sounded very unprofessional, but again I gave her the benifit of the doubt and continued along with it. Said I was their first seller on ebay etc and they were really excited to take me on and stuff. Sucker for a compliment, I jumped straight in, listing all she asked.. Then after the initial excitement about getting a source of income went away, I began to think practicly.. I knew nothing about where the stuff was or how long it would take to get to any buyers.. So i rang miss sugars.. she first of all took about 5mins to work out who I was even though we'd spoken on the phone the day before.. and asked if i could call back in 10 mins. So while I waited I checked out her whois and found she was registered to a recovering alcholics centre in london?! When asked about this she just said "so?" And i asked for the postcode and phone number of the warehouse so I could phone and check that they were at lest holding the items for her, but she refused. At that point I hung up the phone and had to cancel all the listed items on ebay.. Fortunatly i got away with only the listing fees to cover as I refunded everyone imediatly, I only had 2 bad feedback out of 10.

Was a very stressfull experience. I have notified both the webhost of the website and the care home being used as a cover address.. I would really like to stop this womans activites.. is there any way I could take it further? Any advice would be appriciated.

Seems there at it again under a new name(s), just seen this on the jobcentre website, wonder if anyone can trace these people, i have read an article after googling of more victims of this scam. i think advertising in the job centre gives the job seeker a false sense of trust.
