RE: [DML] eBay fraud

["Tom Tait" <TTait@xxxxxxxxxx>]

What is REALLY interesting is that this seller is not only stealing
others eBay accounts to produce the listings (the ad has run 3 times in
the last day or two under the accounts of different sellers who appear
to have established accounts) - the big deal is that the seller has
found a way to hijack all of the links in eBay's own listing so that you
can't report the item as a fraud, or even bid on it - rather these
hyperlinks instead set you up to send an email message to the seller.
 
the latest listing is number is  140061072075 
 
all the listings are using the email account of pcollins472@xxxxxxxxx

Subject: [DML] eBay fraud



Item # 260060385911.

DO NOT bid. This is my car, and no, it's not for sale.

eBay is NOT being cooperative in removing it, either. Their "live
chat" agents tell me "not my department" and refer me to a different
live chat that has been telling me "20 minutes left to wait" for the
last 15 minutes. I'll email 'em, too, but they usually take forever to
respond to this stuff...
