An eBay Scam

How Not To Plea Bargain Your Way Out Of
An eBay Scam 04/05/2005 11:36 PM
Assuming that you stole nearly half a million dollars from people using the typical eBay scam methods (i.e., selling products you didn't own and buying products but never paying for them), and then mocked and insulted the victims of the scam when they accused you of scamming them, the fact that you were even offered a plea bargain as a way out seems way too nice. In fact, you would think that when more people came out to accuse you of scamming them after the plea bargain was set would make you shut up and take the punishment before things got worse. Apparently, one such scammer didn't think that way. Not only did he fight the idea that he should have to pay back the money he stole, he then screwed up the plea bargain by throwing a pitcher of water across the courtroom at the prosecutor on the day he was supposed to be sentenced. No wonder the judge said: "In my view, you are likely to perpetrate when you come out of incarceration." The only thing surprising is that the judge didn't put him behind bars for even longer.

Ex-Microsoft worker gets 2 years for $13
million scam 04/04/2005 01:50 AM
Former Microsoft Corp. employee Richard Gregg was sentenced to two years in prison yesterday for mail fraud after unlawfully selling more than $13 million worth of his former employer's software. U.S. District Judge John Coughenour also ordered Gregg, 45, to pay more than $5 million in restitution to Microsoft for software he diverted, keeping the profits after selling it. In a plea agreement, Gregg admitted that, while working at Microsoft as a project coordinator from May to December 2002, he took advantage of a software-ordering program set up for internal use by Microsoft employees. He ordered and sold more than 4,400 pieces of software, with a value of more than $13 million.

Next time you think about buying a Post Office on eBay remember this story. We hear stories all the time about weird things going up for auction on eBay, mostly because eBay has become a new PR platform for selling weird or unusual items. A few years ago, a woman in a small town in Texas put up the general store she owned for sale on eBay. That store just happened to include a US Post Office. A married couple bought the store and started to run the Post Office themselves, despite having no training at all -- something they felt was a bit of a security threat. They claim they asked repeatedly for the training, but no one would return their calls. Postal Service accountants were calling and complaining about the way the couple filled out forms, but since they couldn't get the proper training, they just gave up filling out the forms altogether (or filled them out on an irregular basis). Then, the money orders started showing up. Boxes of 500, good for $1,000 each. The wife wanted to ship them back, but the Postal Service said she couldn't. She eventually hid about a million dollars worth of the money orders in her daughters diaper bag, afraid of what would happen to them. Eventually, since no one was paying attention to them, they decided to force the situation, and had someone purchases $4,500 worth of the money orders with a bogus check... which certainly got them noticed, and shut down the store. The details of this story all seem a bit sketchy, and the only account the NY Times comes up with is from the couple who bought the store. The story seems to raise many more questions than it answers, so it would be nice to hear the other side to get a better idea of what really happened. In the meantime, though, you might want to think twice about buying a Post Office on eBay.

eBay Art Scammer Sentenced To Four Years
In Prison 05/27/2004 12:11 PM
Not only is eBay a PR platform if you want to sell unusual items, but it's also quite the scam platform, for those trying to sell bogus items. Years ago, we wrote about the hype surrounding a painting that was being sold on eBay. As the price shot up, rumors began spreading that the painting was by Diebenkorn. Of course, it quickly came out that it was all a big scam, and the guy behind it had some friends register a bunch of fake names to bid up the price of the painting and then spread rumors about its origin. Now, that scammer has been sentenced to four years in prison - which seems a bit extreme for lying about a painting on eBay. Still, it also raises questions about how people value art. Shouldn't people value art for the work itself, and not who actually created it?

Scam Busters Just As Bad As Scam
Victims?

Scam Busters Just As Bad As Scam
Victims? 01/19/2004 05:05 AM
An odd article out of South Africa complaining that scam busters are just as bad as scam victims - in that they act in just as predictable a manner. Of course, the scam busters aren't the folks losing money to the scammers, and, in fact, they often are doing a good job to spread news of a scam to protect potential victims. So, I'm a bit confused as to what's so upsetting about people taking it upon themselves to tell others about a scam. Certainly, there are some things that don't deserve to be publicized, but are, due to the intensity of the efforts against them. However, scams are something that clearly should be publicized to limit the negative impact. It seems that the real complaint of the writer isn't so much scam busters, but "fad" busters who complain about people getting hooked on the latest fad. However, fads and scams are two very different things.

Scam Within A Scam Warning

Scam Within A Scam Warning 12/22/2003 07:43 PM
There have been a ton of warnings about so-called "phishing" spam scams - where a very realistic email from a well-known financial firm asks you to confirm the details of your account. Of course, the email isn't real and the scammers just want your account details. They go through all sorts of tricks to hide the fact that the email isn't real, but the latest such phishing scam uses a bit of social engineering. It warns people about such scams, and then says they need to fill out new information to avoid being taken by such a scam. It seems the scammers are trying to get increasingly clever, and it's an interesting social engineering trick to try to get people to let down their guard by first warning them about a scam - and then scamming them anyway.
