Ebay Seller/Scammer


I giggle as I write this because I realized what it sounds like but here goes...

I live in Arizona and I have a friend (that's the funny part) who is so far down on his luck financially that he is considering trying to pull a scam on ebay by selling something that he doesn't have and then just not sending anything.

I have tried to talk him out of it because it's almost guaranteed he will get caught but I would like to be able to tell him what the consequences are as maybe this will at least get him thinking.

Thanks

Google Ebay Fraud Sentenced.

That should give you some interesting reading material.
