Default New Ebay Scam?????

Unfortunately, (smart for him) he is using MSN hotmail. It resolves to msn only when I traced it.

Default New Ebay Scam?????

Here is his latest message

Hello ,

To complete this transaction,please email me your full name and address so I
can get your package ready to ship. Payment will be done by cash money
transfer through Western Union . This is the only and the best way for each
of us to let the transaction happens and that is because other ways take too
much time. Western union is a very simple service,all you have to do is fill
a form with my name and address and your name and address and pay in cash,
from this service you will receive a number called mtcn. Western union
offices are allmost in every bank or postoffice. I will ship you the
products immediately after I have the payment confirmation from you. You
will mail me the confirmation that should include the full senders name and
address and also the money transfer control number that registers the
transfer.

Here is my NAME AND ADDRESS for payment:

Seth Austin
Via Merulana 31, 00185 Roma, Italy

After I check the transfer on their site I will forward you the
merchandise.Hope you will agree to the terms and we will complete the
transaction successfully.Let me know.

Waiting for your reply.

Regards,

Seth

Here is my response

I figured out that msn does pass the IP address on to me when I get an email. here is his

80.76.58.212 when traced it resolves to Greece (not italy like stated)

person: Angelo Adamos
address: Vivodi Telecommunications S.A.
address: Derigni 29-31 & Elpidos 18
address: GR-10434 Athens
address: Greece
phone: +3 01 889 3700
fax-no: +3 01 889 3701
e-mail: aadamos@vivodi.gr
nic-hdl: AA8018-RIPE
changed: aadamos@vivodi.gr 010426
source: RIPE

The above is the guys ISP probably not actually him.

Hello again,

You will go in person at western union office with cash.You will need only
my name and address.

When you reach a Western Union office it will be better for both of us if
you will not mention anything about closing any deal.I will explain why.When
i will pick up the founds i am obliged to pay 15% to the state.It would be
in your best interest because i will declare at FedEx that it is a gift so
you won't pay for customs when you receive the product.

Please send me your full name and address so I will prepare the shippment.

I am waiting for your mail.

Warm regards,

Seth
I think I will let him soak for a day. before I email him back.

This is a shame....people are getting scammed like this every day. It does'nt take a rocket scientist too realize it's not a good idea too wire thousands of dollars too an unknown person that supposedly is going too send you your product. If this guy don't scam these peoples money....somebody will eventually. You walk around with the vaseline and eventually you will find someone too use it on you.

I know about this first hand. I do alot of selling on e-bay and I had someone take over my account. The guy lived in France and had a counterpart working here in the states. Together they scammed a bunch of people out of thousands of dollars. Luckly for me he did not get any money from me but he did get the money for one of my auction items to the sum of 1100.00. I did everything I could to let the guy who was buying the item that my account had been taken over and not to send the money but............NO LUCK ........he ended up getting taken. When I let e-bay know of the problem they told me that what happens is when you go into your e-bay account with other windows working that is how they get in. They use the back door. Any time you have a problem with e-bay everything has to be taken care of via e-mail which is a long process.

Well, I couldnt wait anylonger and emailed him back.

ok, but what kind of reassurance can you offer me? Honestly I am a little
leary about sending so much cash without knowing you. Can you show me any
paperwork? like email or even mail?
