What next?

What's the extradition treaty for computer crimes. It'd be nice if he defrauded a New Yorker and go extradited to Riker's Island. It'll suit his online gender change.

I want to know.

Has MGD or anyone from BBR contacted the US government about this? I'm curious to see how they would respond.

He looks really shiny in that picture. Either he has been eating a whole lot of french fries or we're looking at a mannequin. You think greasy complexions cause phishing?

ALL RIGHT!!!!!
I am a member of one of the Mercury Cougar chat groups.
There are so many phishing schemes trying to rip off people with vintage Mustangs, Cougars, and other muscle cars it has made in all but impossible to market such cars on Ebay. Almost every time one of the Cougar crowd tries to sell a car on Ebay a phisher would start his own listing with the same car, at the same time or later. Ebay will remove it but that takes time and in the meantime the rip is on going. This is the reason why I will NEVER!!!!! deal through Ebay.

I have a '78 Cougar XR7, which, while not a muscle car cougar mine is like an overstuffed chair powered by a 351 Windsor V8, and for such a large ghetto glider it get fairly good gas mileage, and no car payments, ahhh

Similar happening to me

I am bidding on an instrument on ebay when this one japanese guy came on and out bid everyone and jacked up the price on the item. He had a negative 1 feedback. After doing a little digging I contacted both the seller and ebay saying what I found. Ebay said their hands are tied but the seller took out all his bids and thanked me for protecting him against fradulant bidders.

Notified Romanian Police

As I posted in another thread about this, I passed this information to the head of the Romanian National Police in Bucharest, Romania. I don't know if they will do anything but who knows. Hopefully they will turn up the heat on Mr Andra.

I will let you know if I get a reply from the Romanian Police.

notify more than the police,

Forward a summary and appropriate links to everyone in the scammer's town such as churches, local organizations, store owners. Word will get back to his family and the boy will at least some punishment, although most would agree that it won't be enough in our eyes.

Re: I want to know.

Nah, they're too busy going after on-line betting parlor operators: »www.boston.com/business/articles···_gaming/

God forbid they should chase the real thieves instead of the ones who honestly tell you up front that they are trying to take your money....
