IF you are selling your atv on ebay they have a website to report this kind of deal. They will check it out and let you know if He is lagit usually within 24 hours. The address is " Spoof@EBAY ". You may want to email them and put a stop to this guy this time anyway!

Forgot to say that I learned this lesson the hard way and lost 880 bucks after sending the money westernunion..Never heard another word from the guy and couldnt get anything done about it either. Be sure to report it to Spoof@EBAY. This character was in California..It happens all the time.

The exact same name, doctor and all, as I have read on here before so many times. I wonder if he changes his address to avoid capture or if no one is even trying to put a stop to this guy. Report him or them!

Well, why dont you just have him mail you the check, and just dont send him money back. Get him a little excited. Lol, probably the most you can do to get back at him. I mean, it will definately **** him off. Definately report it after though.
