| EBay fraud I saw a Monette 993 on EBay this week. I know who owns the trumpet and knew it was a fraudulent add.
I emailed the seller and told him that I wanted the trumpet. He sent an invoice to me from EBay telling me that it is OK to send him the money and that they had 5000.00 in an escrow account to cover anything that could go wrong.
I wanted to see how far the guy would go so I told him I didn't get the invoice. I said that my computer wouldn't open the email.
I told him to send the trumpet fed ex COD but he said to pay first.
Finally I told him that I would send the money first if he would send me a picture of the trumpet in front of the newspaper with the date on it. That's when he disappeared.
It took some time but, I had some fun. |
