'Reformed' fraudster, 18, facing jail after new eBay scam
Read the posts above before reading this article and you'll understand why eBay has a fraud problem.  Last month eBay UK head of safety and security Gareth Griffiths said he would consider hiring this teenage conman  Happy001

Quote:A teenage swindler was yesterday told that he faces a jail sentence for conning eBay users, only months after he was sentenced for a similar scam that netted thousands of pounds.

Phillip Shortman, 18, of Cwmbran, south Wales, appeared at Newport crown court after pleading guilty at Abergavenny magistrates court in October to four counts of obtaining by deception property worth more than £8,000.

According to this article from The Telegraph, he signed up for new eBay and PayPal accounts while awaiting trial for conning eBay users out of £45,000

Quote:Shortman, while awaiting sentence for an earlier fraud involving £45,000, for which he was sent to a detention centre, again signed up for the site, using the secure payment service, Paypal.

Why, I thought it was very charitable of the UK safety and security head to say he would offer the convicted scammer a job  :twistedevil: Happy001

He probably signed up for the new accounts 5 minutes after his old ones were suspended.  :Smile
"Well, Jay was so giddy that someone named Jay was involved with this site we posted our first non-eBay listing in 3 years here at Lunarbid (we tried two items at Yahoo once upon a time, they bombed)" -Marie posting in a LunarBid thread at OTWA in 2005 wins the award for 'most moronic reason ever given for choosing a venue"

best way to put it is TULIPTOOLS.COM IS REALLY SHIT. DONT JOIN." -pubescent owner of rinky dink off2auction.com in 2011
