Guest Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I am almost convinced this is our friend from Belgium. It is easy to register an account in a different country. Unless he has moved he is in Mons. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 (edited) How do you prove to ebay that a new account has been set up by a scammer? I wonder if he as a seller would also pay ebay their percentage and fees, or avoid that somehow? You need a credit card to set up a selling account with ebay and you think they would block ones that have been abused from setting up new accounts?

Guest dodger Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Think I saw you ordering a drink in Playa del Mar a few years ago Rog. (Very, VERY LOUDLY) 'One-o bottle-o of beer-o pour favour' And the job was done link That's right, and when I asked a local where the airport was I just stood there with my arms outstretched rocking from side to side and said 'Biggo silver birdo, Manuel?' and funnily enough he didn't know what I was saying. Can't think why!! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
