Ebay Scammers

I've seen too many car scams in forums and on eBay that I've decided to take action. Please READ.

I've actually seen a guy steal pictures out of the members rides section of 7thgencivic and then post the car for sale on eBay.

SO, I thought I would post up the site that a buddy of mine has been working on with me. We're hoping that car clubs, or whatever will post up some scams they find in the forums to help people out. We ended up catching 3 cars illegally being sold on eBay the week after the civic one. So we decided to start up a forum where they could try to trace them down.

www.scamboards.com

The site really can't be found right now in search engines, but we're planning on getting the site "live" in like a week.

There is still a lot more that has to be added, but I'd love for people to check it out and be so kind as to register. Hopefully if the number or people grows some, we can really put a dent in the scum on ebay.

That's really what we're hoping for here.

AND... my final request. If you find or hear of any shady stuff going down on ebay.... POST IT or let me know. We want to let people to know that there is a lot of bad stuff going down on ebay as well as the internet in general

Just Register, and Notify the board if anything crazy would shop up. We'll take it from there and try to remove them from ebay and whatnot.

I appreciate it a lot.

If you belong to any other car threads or forums, please spread the word. I've seen 2 car problems within the last month on other car forums. So I know it's all over the place.

If the people who run this site would want to put a sticky somewhere or something about scamboards, It might help? I'm just not sure what they think about it.

I'd apprecaite any feedback or remarks.

Whislt on the subject of :censor: 'Scum' on eBay there is a person (or group?) who claims to be from Singapore (and more than one name/id has been used) and bid a high price on a vehicle with no intention of aquiring the car.

It has recently happened to someone selling a Vauxhall Cresta.

Why they are doing it :ffs: no one has the slightest idea perhaps they derive some strange 'kick' out of it

The ID names on eBay they have been using so far (bound to be more) is:

terrycolman

obote123

Both ID's have claimed to reside in Singapore

With reference to your 'project' I wish you every success.

Well done.

Thanks for checking it out. I posted the info about that user on the site. I hope you don't mind.

I gain info everytime I post info about the site somewhere about eBay scum or bad IDs. I just added those to the list.

thanks a lot.

but remember. I obviously can't comb all of the car forums myself. Usually this is where a huge majority of stuff can be found.

I looked at 3 other car forums last night and typed in "eBay scam" ... I ended up finding 3 fake scam car deals..... within the last 3 weeks on one site.

If you would see one on here, or anything shady... post it up, or alert me. I'll do it.

Finally got round to having a look :D

That is a fantastic site :thumbsup:

Out of curiosity have 'ebay' thanked you for this as you must be doing them a favour (due to the fact they had a little bad press on 'Watchdog' recently).

Well done
