Ebay Caught up to Blueclaretsvx?

Looks like Ebay finally caught up to Blueclaretsvx aka "jdm_sti_typer" as he is no longer a registered user. User being the key word. looks like we may have seen the last of him here as well as he has been MIA the past week, thank goodness. If anyone is still on the hook with this guy I will have his phone number when my cell phone bill shows up at the end of the month. Happy to share PM me.

Sorry but I have to butt in here.

Yes, he did try to scam many people and got away with it with a few people.

Yes, he keeps comming back after numerous times of asking moderaters to perminantly block his IP adress.

No, do not share his phone #. I am not sure that is even legal and it is not the way I would like to see things carried out by members on this board. It is not fair to anyone to share personal information regardless of how bad someone got shafted. If he is harassed he can and probobly will call the police and that will end up with both parties having to go to court and the harasser getting fined and having it on their record. It is much wiser just to keep your eyes open for stuff like this and make sure any new members check out before making purchases from them.

Makes sense and seams to be the proper thing to do, but what about the member that did get taken advantage of? Should they not have the opportunity to contact the guy to resolve the situation? Blueclaretsvx was very secretive about who he was, resfused to meet at his place, never gave out his number, and always asked for yours so he could call . Even then he had his number blocked. I not saying lets post his number in a public place and harass him. I'm saying if you have outstanding issues with him, I can get you his number. Think of it as 411. I will not release this number to anyone till more people way in on this issue. Should he really be protected from the people he took advantage of??

scam watch

Perhaps moderators or some can keep an eye on those new members(watch their first 10 posts or more..) especially once they registered and their first few posts are selling stuff.....

Eric:

Don't take this the wrong way and maybe I am just playing Devils Advocate, but I don't see the difference. Either it is ethical to share a number when you have been scammed or it isn't. Just because Tom says he has the number for a scammer that appeared last year, why is it okay for me to send him The new scammers phone number so he can compare? Then anyone could say "send me the number so I can see if it is the same guy". Now I realize Tom has been on this forum for some time and appears to be a very trusted guy. So do we change the rules and make it ok to PM him a phone number and no one else that may have been burned? And by chance lets say it is the same guy - so what - do we start sharing the number then?

I am really confused on what the RIGHT thing is to do. I see Tom's point of not sharing, but then I don't see why its okay to share when he asks. (nothing personal Tom - just a good example of when is it OK)

Still looking for more feedback from members.

Why not send the last 5 digets of the number to compare? It takes 10 to complete the call, but likley if the 5 match then it is the same guy, and perhaps no ethics were broken

We do check the IP address (believe me that's the first thing I checked on Blue) but his has been different every time. Close in area but different enough that it isn't a definite that it is him. It was even a different part of town when I mapped it. If we IP ban the domain we could lose other members.

The mods and admins try to keep a watch on this but we gotta have some common sense around here. People have to be careful buying from new members. It would also be unfair for us to jump on every single person who shows up with 2 posts and is parting out a car. The vast majority of them are legit.

I pestered ebay with multiple emails until they banned the guy. What a hassle. But I thought it was worth my time to go through the process so other people do not get screwed.

Eventually ebay also gave me the name/address/phone number he registered under. It may or may not be correct. I know the info they have on me is for my old apartment. Phone number is no longer even correct.

I do agree with Getndrty in that I will share his contact info with others if they need it. People who may have been shafted by this guy may not be able to get in contact with him and they should be provided the data necessary to get their money back. I know that I would have appreciated it. As of right now, the only punishment this guy has had is to have his little used ebay account banned. Big whoop. Probably has very little affect on a guy like that. He is tool and a few calls to remind him of that may not be bad thing.
