Default Re: Fraud/Scams: how to protect yourself and how to report i

I'll probably get all ragged on for this but here it goes:

A lot of people say eBay should be doing more to stop the scam. I don't agree. eBay, like some buyers don't know what to look for and sometimes with hacked players no one knows except the seller that the player is hacked.

Sometimes the sellers give no clues, there's nothing in the description that a player is hacked. Everyone is blind to the fact a buyer is about to get scammed, including eBay and the buyer.

There are some real players on eBay and some great clones that offer people a cheap or inexpensive way to get a great player because alot of people can't afford a few hundred bucks to get a ipod. I think there is a market place for the good clones.

I don't think its productive to sue eBay and PayPal. Its more productive to tell everyone on eBay whats going with hacked players, like what robjones is doing.

Now you can rag all over me for this too but here's come the biggy: eBay isn't at fault - the sellers on eBay selling hacks are.

What is robjones up against? Lets take a real hard look - i checked eBay a few minutes ago and there are 7507 players listed. Robjones has 7 listings about the hacked players scam. Like O My God. How can robjones compete with 7507 listings. His 7 against all of eBay. Think about it.

How many of us has supported robjones effort and given him money or bought his guide even though we don't need it?

Take the money that it takes to pay lawyers to sue eBay and PayPal and give it to robjones - donate enough money to him so he can post 7507 listings about the scam. Give him twenty bucks and say here - go post more listings with it.

That's the answer - telling people on eBay about hacked players and the scam.

And what you are doing in this thread, that's the answer to. Get the word out. Bombard eBay with thousands and thousands of listings about the scam. That's the answer.
