Turning the tables on an eBay fraudster

[Cruyff14]

Nah she will know it's you.

But I'd be doing it fairly regularly though.

Use Domino's, Pizza Hut etc.

Should use taxi's as well (but be careful they don't block your number/address).

Register her to anything and everything you can find. I'd be sending stuff to her house that is gonna cost her money.

 

[Perth gal]

Where's those biker mates when you need them.

 

[Perth gal]

I'd wait for ACORN. If no joy send her a letter with all you know about her. Blackmail her. The money will come back.

 

[Grin]

Surely ordering pizzas isn't punishing anyone but the Pizza maker?

 

[SwampCreature]

Anyone who wants to send pizzas to my address Pm me, I'd love that shit. Happy to give it up.

Ps. Extra cheese + pepperoni or gtfo

 

[Perth gal]

Im up for Mexican. Hit me up.

Don't do anything until the authorities have finished their investigation, the time for messing with her was before the report (to try and get your money back) or after the authorities have concluded the case. If you don anything and she keeps a record of it you could be in trouble of your own. If she goes down she'll sure as hell want to take you down with her.

Once that's done, I'd go the flyer option. Do one up, post it to her address and say that you'll distribute it all across her local neighbourhood if she "doesn't do the right thing". If you know a lawyer get them to type up something on a letterhead saying that you'll be taking her to small claims court unless she chooses to settle for 'x amount'. Which again would then be on public record, outing her as the person she really is to all.

I tried sending her a nice little email over eBay which I posted about in my 2nd/3rd follow up post in this thread. Of course, she either didn't get it as she doesn't check her mock account for emails or didn't buy into my threat of heading to the cops unless she transfers my money back.

Judging from the local NSW newspaper article about her fraudulent activity back in 2011, given she was found to be in possession of a crack pipe when cops formally charged her I'd say she doesn't have a reputation to uphold. So I don't think threatening to go public about her activities will work. Maybe if I threaten to get in contact with her extended family, maybe they would be happy to hear how she has descended down the wrong path once again after having been done for fraud previously.

Any parent would look down upon that... unless she already comes from a broken family with a background in drugs/crime.

Contact her using a different email or private phone saying you want to buy something. Build up a conversation, explain you will pay cash on delivery in a public place. Get a photo of her and email it to the Feds too.

If she won't meet in public which I'd expect you know she will be checking her emails at least and if you know a lawyer, get them to type up a nice legal letter threatening to take them to small claims and have the matter publicly listed. Then copy that letter if she doesn't pay up in to every item she is selling online that you can find.

Subscribe her to Readers Digest, she'll be on their mailing list until she dies.

Trouble is, she lives in NSW and I don't know her email outside of eBay.

Have you kidnapped her dog yet? Make sure you tranquilise it before you start dismembering it. You don't want to kill it, not initially anyway, because you don't want the smell and the decomposing. Keep it drugged up but alive for the next couple of weeks while you slowly chop it up and send it back to her.

Wowsers! I love dogs, so no chance I'll be doing that. But her on the other hand? Some Chinese torture methods could come in handy!

I'm yet to hear anything from ACORN, so am going to contact NSW Police directly and see if they are able to fast track anything given they'd have the culprit's details on file due to her criminal record.

If all else fails I'll be making her life a living hell.

By the sounds of things she's a crack whore who is probably being blackmailed by others who have been scammed by her, and she probably doesn't care

My thinking exactly, but given she has priors for fraud and she could potentially get jail time for re-offending, it may just work.

If the NSW police are unable to do anything I'll release her details on here, Reddit and 4chan for people to mess with her.

I don't regret scamming the OP, but I do rue and lament it

what do you mean by 4chan, what would you do with the details on there?

 

[PoppedCorn]

Do up a flyer with all the juice on her on it and what she has done
Photocopy it and put it in all her neighbours mailboxes and staple them to trees and tape to telegraph poles all down her street

Harmless but at least everyone knows what a complete scrag bitch she is

Stuff. Plenty of stuff. Of that you can be sure

Amazing. The fact they only actively investigate fraud because the fraudster has shown their face annoys me.

I have my fraudster's name, address and phone number FFS!

Just a quick update. I contacted the NSW Police directly online through CrimeStoppers hoping they'd be able to help, and a Senior Constable wrote back saying that they don't accept reports of fraud via email, but asked if I could make a report directly to my local police station in VIC so they can forward a request through to the NSW Police for further investigation.

I think the fact I disclosed the fraudsters name and detailed how they would have been known to NSW Police must have pricked up their ears.

They also gave me a reference number, so hopefully that will convince the Vic Police to forward on the report so something can be done. I won't stop until I get justice...

Sorry to intrude on your thread. We sold $3k worth of stock to an Indian fraudster on Ebay, insured the package and did all possible to ensure delivery through Australia Post. What do you know, it didn't arrive!!

He raised a case with ebay and was refunded within a week, I was on holiday at the time and had no hope of sending the required details in their timeframe. Because I made the decision not to refund him, ebay judged the case in his favour. I was in constant contact with the high value claims at Ebay, with documentation of every email, photos and tracking of the item, but no signature. It showed that the item was at his post office. So, I withdrew all funds from Ebay/ Paypal, wrote a legal letter and outlined what I was going to spend the proceeds on (legit medical expenses). I kept at ebay, calling every day to follow up and discuss options (legal/ small claims, etc). I didn't really discuss, I just dictated how I was going to deal with it. Ebay won't put you through to their legal department, they will only give you a mail address in LA, I figured that the more members of the high value team I told, the more likely I would see action.

The refund mysteriously never hit my account. In fact, I was refunded my ebay fees as well.

Then I started on the scammer. There was a great tool that used to exist on WatchCount.com, which detailed all purchases made by an ebay account. Once he bought something, bang, I was onto the seller and outlined the fraudsters modus operandi. I worked out he would always back out of a deal if you arranged delivery by courier. By my count, I stopped around $10k of sales to this fraudster. The fraudster confronted me on this, I was only too happy to advise him that perhaps ebay are catching up with him.

Three months of tracking gave me his signature on the delivery, but that was no use to me after he had been refunded by ebay. Unfortunately the Watchcount.com tool has now been removed by order of Ebay, which ended my fun there.
