Scammer

[Griking]

Well, I got burnt on ebay.

I bid on the following item a few weeks ago and was promised Priority Shipping. When it never arrived I contacted the seller and was told it would arrive in two days. It never showed. Ever since he's been ignoring all of my email to hiim.

So now today I check out his feedback and notice that he's been screwing other people recently. I thought that this was odd since he was a Power Seller and didn't have nearly as many negtive feedback back when I originally bid.

But here's the kicker, check out the feedback left to him by a buyer called ab6137 on 08/20/2003.

Now check out my feedback and notice the feedback left by the guy who screwed me (MadCeller) when I paid for the item.

Notice anything familiar?

Bottom line is don't believe that a seller is honest just because he's a Power Seller.

Duh. LOL

Pretty much anyone who's screwed me (or in the process now) has been a Power Seller. It's gotten so out of hand that I'm trying to curb bidding on anything listed by a Power Seller.

Here's a clearification;

Here's the scammer's (MadCeller) feedback to me;

Now here's some guys called ab6137s Feedback to MadCeller;

What I'm trying to show is that MadCeller IS ab6137. He's creating bogus transactions in an attempt to patch up his rep which recently has been going to hell. There's no way that two separate people leave the exact same feedback like that. Especially with both of them being in all caps

Griking, I think you're mistaken. ;)

Looks more like someone lazy, who just likes to copy & paste feedback replies. ab6137 is also ID checked. So I doubt this is a fake username, besides the fact that they buy & sell on ebay. Most fake accounts, are used for bidding only & usually only on one persons user id.
