I've finally found out (after MANY phone calls) that I would have to file charges in their district-their place of residence, even if the actual transaction was made over the internet (apparently, the court laws stipulate that you must file claims where the actual transaction was made-unless they were the result of the sellers solicitation)...UGH! That would mean that I would have to travel literally across the U.S. for the hearing, then, if the defendant has to, or decides to change the court date, I would have to make a secondary trip! Plus, I am told that you cannot request the defendant recoup your traveling expenses...somethings got to give or we will not only see these types of crimes continue, but we will see them grow out of control!

I won an auction last week. The seller's address was given as, you guessed it 119 Millfield Avenue, London E17. The seller is pressing for payment before delivery through western union (again sounds very familiar).
I must thank all of you on the forum here, because it was, in a large part, due to the matters raised here, which I discovered when carrying out a serach on the seller's details, that I decided to withhold immediate payment.
At present I have not paid (£890) and have reported my suspicions to e-bay, who I understand have suspended the seller's account in the meantime.
Rahti's comments may be flippant but it is probably true that all the names that are provided are false, and that the occupant of 119 Millfield Avenue may indeed be entirely ignorant of these matters.
The e-mail correspondence is still continuing in my purported transaction and I will endeavour to illicit as many details as possible.
Thanks to you all again.

wow macangels, how do you get all this info!?
thanks for that site you posted, and as im not exactly an expert with computers you might be able to help me.
it says on the site:
"Some of these rogue spamers are sending the virus spam, W32/Netsky-U, is the biggest. W32/Netsky-S and W32/Netsky-U have a backdoor component listening for connections on TCP port 6789 allowing an unauthorized program to download and execute arbitrary code on the infected computer. Which would allow for the harvesting of Ebay and paypal passwords. Which would account for the rate of Ebay account Hijackings."
so does this mean if you're firewall is conifgured to not let through info from TCP port 6789 that these hackers cannot gain the info from your PC?
or will a firewall stop them altogether?
thanks,
alex
(and uxbridge police still havent contacted me after all this time, even after 2 reminder phonecalls. the police are useless and so i have no respect for them anymore)
