One of the Largest eBay Scams Finally Comes to an End
« on: March 06, 2010, 04:01:59 AM »
After a three year investigation and countless complaints, a south Florida man will spend 5 1/2 years behind bars for running one of the largest eBay scams in the history of eBay. The details of the massive operation include, hundreds of auction accounts, multiple identities and constantly changing PO Boxes.

Funny how different factions of the government work.

A postal inspector needs (I think) 3 pieces of evidence to go forward with mail fraud charges. The South Florida law enforcement apparently needs 5,500! Ridiculous.

Yes, but where was the FBI or the FTC? Was this not fraud over state lines?
