I also remember "free jack cable" or suchlike to no-Paypal users, complete with description why the seller was feeling so generous  . Fleeb is the new "Microsoft"; it stinks, and you moan about it, but you can't seem to avoid using it these days. |

Well, my spoof buyer "sinoscamtosser" has won so many auctions Fleeb has actually congratulated me  . I've sent them a reply that I have no intention of paying for these scams, and that Fleeb are pathetic.
Incidentally, all of those different seller-IDs have sent me the same invoice. Here he is, step forward:
| Quote: | | Full Name: Li Han(first name:Li last name:Han) Address: 915 room, 208# building Guangqumendongli , Chaoyang District Beijing China Zipcode: 100021 |
Preferably, step forward from a steep cliff, you git. |

In regards to fleeb, I was reading some interesting articles on how less then reputable ebay shop owners change their shop name to avoid users finding out about past complaints via google searches. Of course the concept is hardly new, it's just the fact fleeb does very little to combat it.
Edit: I meant to add, maybe you could play a little game with this scammer 1b, like those other sites that get back at em. Always a good laugh. |

Perhaps tell Li Han that I have a brother-in-law with lots of money in the Bank of Lagos, Nigeria? I'll send him a cheque for $500,000 and, as soon as it "clears" send me the Ric 4003 wrapped in $100 notes for the change? Keep $5000 for yourself, Li Han?
I couldn't do that could I? |

A ways back there was a mention of spoof e-bay e-mails phishing for your personal info. Usually they're not to hard to spot, because if you roll your cursor over the link they want to take you to, you'll see they're NOT going to www.ebay.com. However, lately there have been some really clever ones that look EXACTLY like e-bay's address, with one little twist. Instead of a slash (/) between address elements (for example, www.ebay.com/index/viewitem), the address has dots (.), for example, www.ebay.com.index.viewitem.
It's just a good idea not to open anything you're not expecting, of course! |
