Direct from Las Vegas it's - eBay Fraud Live! 24 indicted in ID theft scam!

Quote:Nineteen people were arrested and five more were sought Wednesday on federal charges of identity theft, conspiracy and fraud.

The 24 people have been indicted on 51 counts. Their scheme provided the ring leaders with cars, boats, and a lavish lifestyle.

The making money part of the scam involved eBay. According to authorities, the ring would steal an identity, set up a bank account and credit under that name and then buy items they sold on eBay to make money. Meanwhile, the victim of the identity theft would get the bill for the purchase of the item.

If you bought something on eBay from "gr8dealcenter" or "simonselz" chances are you got a huge bargain...
