The Scammers back
#30

For starters, if the criminal is operating from 'somewhere' in the entire world, or perhaps even on the move the entire time, which police force should take on the task of pursuing him?

One thing I've picked up as a result of witnessing numerous discussions about this on several forums is that the scammer is not actually committing a crime by placing these listings on eBay. The crime only starts when someone pays money to him and does not receive goods in return. Now, if you read eBay's rules, these clearly state that you must not conduct business outside of eBay in respect of any goods you've seen listed, due to the high risk of crime. So, if a buyer ignores the rules and loses money as a result, is it really eBay's fault?


Doesn't this sort of eBay listing fall under 'false advertising' - surely there is some law against this ?
