Some of the faces of internet scammers

So internet scammers as it turns out aren't the smartest bunch. Who knew?! As I have discovered, they often times use their real names when trying to place orders using stolen credit card numbers. So crafty! What's even better than that? They all have Facebook accounts! Here's a few of these pathetic pieces of trash.

Solomon Adune of Ghana! - has his stolen goods shipped to an address in Fort Worth, Texas

Jolmer Barrios of Venezuela! - has his stolen goods shipped to an address in Miami, FL

Michael Kophy of Ghana! - has his stolen goods shipped to an address in Fort Worth, Texas

Matthew Aubyn of Ghana! - has his stolen goods shipped to an address in Canada

Most common buyer excuses on ebay

In my numerous years on ebay, I have heard it ALL. Here are the most common excuses I receive when a buyer has not paid for their item. I'm not saying that they're all lying, but sometimes you just know.


1. My child/friend/roommate bid on this using my account

2. I was in the hospital

3. A relative died

4. My Paypal account is having issues (like there's no money in it?)

5. My account was hacked


What are some of the excuses you've heard?
