Scammers Update

I spoke with some of my colleagues and learned they just want you name, address, phone number and ebay ID number at first just to take your identity on ebay. Then they send you payment instructions. After that they use your identity to conduct future scams to other people and confuse authorities. My scammer keeps sending me more information and I was told the scammer is outside the country (I think they told me Jamaica). I guess this particular scam is very popular right now and is currently being investigated by the feds as we speak. All of my stuff is being turned over to them. My advise is this, if you have received a scam on ebay and want to contact someone, then contact ebay at Link if you have given money to one of these scammer call your local authorities and have a report filed and contact ebay. This is just information to pass on that I was given by the people who are suppose to know. Don’t be scared or delete any second chance offers. Just use some common sense and contact the buyer. I personally would contact the buyer by phone just to make sure the deal is legitimate. A fellow officer that I work with (been on the job for over 10 years) fell for a similar scam and was out $60. It can happen to anyone, he was comfortable and didn’t look into it. Hope this helps and enjoy ebay.
