Hi Dave:

Thanks for bringing this up.  I have reporting this person to Ebay for the past several years. He has been using the same MO for quite a while now. He will post these listing for test equipment and items like Rolex watches. Reported him twice this past week. Ebay will take him down then within 24 hours he is back again. Report him again and then he is gone for two to three weeks. I now have a Word doc that I copy from for the text on the report and then put the item number for one of his listings.

Again thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention.

Thanks

Bill

Nice you took the time to click through it all. The bank account likely belongs to a 'mule' (a person that receives money into her/his bank account and gets to keep a commission).

In the Netherlands it is possible to reverse transactions made into these kind of scam bank accounts without needing a court order nowadays.

and shortly after the police knocks on the door and the mule is now a criminal ...
