Re: Scammer alert
Many years ago I was contacted by a man that asked why I wasn't responding to his inquiries about the bike he had supposedly bought from me through ebay.I did not sell him a bike,I had cut ties with paypal and ebay a few years earlier.He had bought a 1996 Harley,fairly new back then.He had pictures of my bike,and my name,but I didn't even have an ebay account by then.I had sold the bike 3 years earlier,private sale,on Craigslist.I have no idea how the scammer could have gone through that whole transaction,and gotten paid,using the name of an account closed three years earlier.The interesting part was that ebays reaction to the whole thing was to demand I either produce the motorcycle or give the money back.That was their sole position.They never wavered from that.I was very nice to the victim,who figured out fast that he'd been scammed out of $12000.I don't know how it all came out,but it took months for ebay to leave me alone.
