Blatant Scammer

Check out this seller - dsf5t45yg item number 130014847877

Has 4 laptops up for grabs and a positve rating of 100% from 10 feedbacks. So far so good? Check out how he has earned that feedback, with 10 blatantly obvious fake items won by no doubt alter-egos of himself.

I know this should be obvious to the majority of ebayers and most folk won't fall for it, but he is not short of bidders on the laptops and stands to clear several 100 pounds for his efforts.

I have reported it to ebay but I suspect that they won't be interested as usual.

All feedback received are from sellers who are now NARU.

Payment method: Postal Order...what a total con.

Just to update on this, I see that our friendly scammer had 7 laptop auctions finish yesterday, at a total gain of almost 3000 euros including the postage costs.

But ...

the purchaser of all 7 items was someone call pdq44 who has what looks like a genuine feedback rating of 19 positives and appears to be based in Cheshire. My guess is that pdq44 is one of the good guys and has just prevented 7 other mugs being fleeced by outbidding them all after spotting the obvious scam.

Its such a shame that we have to police ebay ourselves and they don't pull obvious scams like this.
