|
|
Gentlemen, someone has taken the copy of my eBay ad and put it on Videogon.
The scammers have taken my content and even ripped my pictures (note the little eBay emblem down the bottom right corner)
The listing is NOT mine
I have a feeling I know who it is. Fortunately, I have contacts in law enforcement within Videogon's juridstiction.. fraud is taken very seriously by IC3.
VIdeogon aren't replying to me yet. I have asked them to take the fake ad down.

This scammer has only pricey items for sale.
The kicker has to be the Pioneer televison. Brand new in the box for half of what you'd pay in a retail store.
Thanks for the heads up, oliverg.

This fellow must spend a significant amount of time scamming.
Now he's added a brand new Sanyo plv-z2000 projector for just half of the current retail price.
oliverg, any response from videogon yet?

Videogon are totally ignoring me. I haven't had a single response from them in the last 3 months about anything. This is the second "scam" ad that they allowed to stay up even after notification.
The last time this happened, it was a Sony VPLVW50 Pearl for $1400
After I got an email from the scammer, I tracked it and found it wasn't coming from the UK like he said.
I then left negative feedback for the scammer.
To my disbelief, the feedback was removed and my account was suspended!!!

Perhaps someone at Videogon is in on the scam.
Later, they can make all traces of wrongdoing disappear.
It wouldn't be the first time something turned out to be an 'inside job.'
