She got pwned.

I HATE Judge Judy. And I still think she pwned that scammer.

[rcgamer]

Go Judge Judy!

It is the few people like this woman that give some people a bad impression of Ebay.

[jajaja]

Haha owned! $5000 too, damn!

[Greg2600]

Part of the agreement in coming on that show is that neither person actually has to pay the losing judgement, if it's monetary and not a car or pet or something.

[skankinmack]

so thats what an e-bay scammer looks like huh?
i didn't think they were real humans. just heartless monsters who feed of the souls of the innocent people he/she has scammed.

[Sailorneorune]

That made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Thanks OP!

I hope that woman spends time behind bars and that her children are taken away from her permanently. How does someone turn into such a scumsucker?

I'm not sure she has to pay a dime of the $5000, though. According to wikipedia, "The award for each judgment is paid by the producers of the show from a fund reserved for each case."

[badinsults]

Haha, great. Now if only that happened to all of them. I'm sorry but saying your are selling a photo when you have a big description of a phone is fraud. A store that said, "PS3 PHOTO FOR SALE - $600" would not get away with it, and ebayers shouldn't either.

[dendawg]

Hells yeah, that bitch got pwned!

Unfortunately, if this was a real small claims court, she'd get off. (JJ and all the other court shows are abitration, and plus, JJ can use her own discretion in deciding cases.)

Now if only they had a show that showcased only Ebay scammers.

[Nes]

Why would she get off? Her ad was deceptive and contained false information.

[mr_nihilism]

I hope every time that cow walks down the street people erase that stupid smug look off her face by punching her.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Deceptive? Yes. But the auction actually said it had a photo, not an item, so legally she's in the clear.

I'm NOT happy with that, but that's how it is.

[Nes]

The law would not be on her side. Do you think Best Buy could get away with something like that? Not to mention the weight of the item is clearly stated in the auction and it does not match up to the weight of a piece of paper. Deceptive advertising is ILLEGAL.

[Sailorneorune]

If there were a show dedicated to ebay scammers getting theirs, I'd need TWO DVRs.

Do you honestly believe law enforcement would give two shits over someone being scammed on Ebay, unless the amount involved several thousands of dollars/euros/whatever? In cases like this, sadly the onus is on the scammee to take action. The amount involved is usually not worth the effort to file suit, hire attorneys, possibly crossing state lines, etc.

Deceptive? Yes. But the auction actually said it had a photo, not an item, so legally she's in the clear.

Not true. Judge Judy pointed out that the "item" weighed 4 oz and there was no way that two pieces of paper could weigh a quarter of a pound. The scammer tried to cover her (rather large) ass by putting the word "photo" in the description. She did a poor job of it and that's why it should be considered fraud and not a prank. She's not in the clear and I won't be surprised if the Atorney General indicts her and her husband.

True that. Funny when scammers shit themself when they do mistakes like this hehe.

Um, yes I do. I've personally have contacted a crooked seller's local police department and they actually helped me get my money back. What do you suggest, let the seller get away with it?

What I think is bullshit is if it's true that the producers of the Judge Judy show pays all judgments. Because of this this scammer never really learned a thing. Yeah, big deal, they found in favor of the buyer for $5000. The television show pays for this and the scammer still made $500 by selling pictures.

No wonder she looked so smug.

[aaron7]

The part about weighing 4oz was about the phone itself, not the photo. Technically the seller was still in the clear; though I'd never condone such actions.
