You ARE the man Martin! Send me one of his fingers, and I will call off his debt to me.  | ||

Alright, Martin. | ||

Mitchel, gotta know the right people with a deep italian voice: "you messa witha my family, you messa witha me." | ||

I am scratching my head. I have sent 3 emails to ebay about hotsauce2000, and never got anything except an computer generated ack. Cool information though. | ||

Just got another eBay message. I think we misjudged them. They do take things serious after all. Read this: Hello Martin, Thank you for providing us with the details about this situation with dubleclik. We are concerned about violations on the site and have thoroughly investigated your report. Please be assured that we have taken appropriate action in accordance with our site policies. Our actions may include issuing a warning, temporary suspension, indefinite suspension or terminating the membership. At this time, our records indicate the user you are reporting is currently not a registered eBay user. Because privacy concerns are important to everyone we are not at liberty to discuss the details of another user's account. We hope that you understand our position in this situation. We also hope that it assures you that your personal account history will always remain private. I would suggest that you look for this item from another seller. We appreciate your assistance in keeping eBay a fun and safe place to trade. Regards, Adrian | ||

Just receivced this e-mail: Dear Martin Wiescholek ([email protected]), Please be advised that the following auction: 1062587917 - FERRARI CAVALLINO PRANCING HORSE DEALER SIGN* was ended early by eBay. The auction was ended due to the account suspension of the seller. All results for this auction are null and void. | ||

So E-bay is just a giant ghost ship. Long ago abandoned by its owners�or any one responsible for its consequences. Yet its massive hulk still floats the worlds information oceans waiting for wide-eyed hapless victims to climb on-board and explore. Some may find treasure, some find horror� Sounds like a good scary movie. | ||

Stop the madness!!!! Solution? CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT | ||

Ebay is a good site for individuals who like to rip people off. Ebay doesn't care as long as they get their $$$$. The more posts he makes the more $$$$ Ebay gets. They are happy. Customer support is non-existent. | ||
| Mitchel DeFrancis (4re308)
|
I have sent repeated emails to ebay complaining about this schmuck. All I got back, despite 3 emails to them, was an acknowledgment email which was automatically generated. I am floored that he is still able to use ebay, because if I had my way, he would get his hands cut off. | ||
| Richelson (Richelson)
|
I would stay after this guy Mitchell. I am surprised that he is still posting it. He might stop now since he knows that people are on to him. | ||
| david schirmer (David)
|
I suppose you could sue eBay. After all they are aware of the situation and are aiding this guy in perpetuating a fraud. You would think that they would do everything possible to get this guy because it doesn't take much to poison the well. | ||
| Martin (Miami348ts)
|
I have no idea why, unless he is reading this chat? He actually cancelled the auction because I can not find it on my My Ebay page anymore and then he blocked it. I have send a complaint to eBay with the link to this thread. Hope they read it and respond. Otherwise sue them and the guy. If they do not repond and take action they act criminal and should be punished. | ||
| Mark (Study)
|
Looks like e-bay has given this man all the tools he needs to be a criminal. Now they(e-bay) are protecting him. Reminds me of a George Busch Speech... "If you help a terrorist... you are a terrorist. Someone needs to send this thread to E-bay | ||
| Richelson (Richelson)
|
Martin, why did he do that? Did you e-mail him? | ||
| Martin (Miami348ts)
|
He blocked my user ID from bidding on his auctions. | ||
| Mitchel DeFrancis (4re308)
|
Well, he changed the user name so I cannot leave a feedback for a user whom I have not closed a transaction with. I did leave a nasty feedback for his other user name (hotsauce2000) and that must be why he has a new user name, the bastid. | ||
| Steven Pham (Stevendp)
|
That VC has a pretty good scam going! I'll try to register so that I can start bidding on that item. | ||
| F-J'87EuroTR (Ferrarijoe)

Hey guys, Look who is bidding on ebay! http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1060173399 I sent the seller this web page to read about dubleclik and warned him that this guy is a rip off as a seller and shouldn't be allowed to bid on anything at Ebay. Joe | ||
| Martin (Miami348ts)
|
Mitchel; why did you not leave negative feedback? | ||
| Martin (Miami348ts)
|
sombody needs to post as well. I am on it right now till $20. Somebody go with a user ID that is not used anymore for much more. | ||
| magoo (Magoo)
|
Mitchel, Did you file with the States Attorneys' office? | ||
| F-J'87EuroTR (Ferrarijoe)
|
He's at it again! http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1062587917 What a ****er! | ||
| magoo (Magoo)
|
Mitchell I'll bet that isn't his real address. Maybe someone in that area can drive by and see whats there, if anything. Why don't you file a complaint with the States Attorneys office. Document all the info. and particulars that you have in the complaint. At least it is a beginning. All we are doing now is spinning our wheels. Someone else may file a complaint and maybe someone else and so on. Then you will be contacted and go from there. The only way you will convict him of a felony is with a total amount of how much he ripped off everyone. Yours by itself is only a slap on the wrist. Sorry to be so negative but these guys do this for a living and they are very good at it. | ||
| magoo (Magoo)
|
Mitchell he also picked a product, high end sport cars, and people he knew would bid on the item. | ||
| magoo (Magoo)
|
Ebay will not get involved to any degree until the States Attorney office forces them to produce the records. They are not going to get involved in any legal dispute until the 13th hour when they have to. That's business nowdays. | ||
| Martin (Miami348ts)
|
Make sure that some of you bid on this item, this way you will be notified if he posts again. This is how I came about the second posting. | ||
| Mitchel DeFrancis (4re308)
|
I agree with magoo. I mean, if he got over $100 from me, and many others I'm sure, he must be doing pretty well selling the same sign. He cannot possibly have so many glass signs available. I want his head on a platter. | ||
| Richelson (Richelson)
|
I agree he has already posted and sold it 3 or 4 times. That adds up quickly. Doesn't Ebay have some form of protection insurance for their customers? Maybe look into that. | ||
| magoo (Magoo)
|
Michael, I give a 10/4 on that. If you read my comment again I agreed that trying to push those ideas I presented would be a tough sell, especially Ebay. This is more than likely not the first time this guy has done this. He knows the law and what constitutes a misdemeanor and what constitutes a felony. That's why he deals in low prices. But then the question is , How many times does he sell it? He probably makes out pretty good at this. | ||
| michael marchese (Bigdog)
|
Magoo I agree, but the achillies heel is Ebay, they cannot afford any negative, (lawsuits criminal complaints etc). I would rattle my sabre in that direction with an eye on my previous suggestions. Trying to round up everyone, (they may not even participate on this forum) and trying to going after this dirtbag is like urinating in the ocean to effect the level of the tide... it just won't happen. | ||
| magoo (Magoo)
|
This guy knows that no one is going to chase him down for $20.00 or $50.00 bucks. If it does become a legal matter he owns up to the mistake and gives back the money to that one person. He then pockets the rest of the money. The only way to catch this guy is a class action through the States Attorney. Then again try and get all the people together who were ripped off. Unless the States Attorneys office has a number of complaints against this guy you probably don't have a chance unless Ebay cooperates and somehow comes up with a list of bidders. Maybe... | ||
| magoo (Magoo)
|
I think he's taking the money and buying it back under a different name. You may see it for sale again at a different price. Higher no doubt. | ||

Hey Mitchel, Here's why you didn't receive the sign. It was sold in Dec. to kkharr (51) .Check out his comments (excellent transaction) about dubleclik and the end of auction info below. http://cgi2.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=dubleclik http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1681048009 Joe | ||

How's this (already sent): Subject : Question for seller -- Item #1060277001 Date : Tue, 08 Jan 2002 15:30:00 PST I'm interested in bidding on your Ferrari sign but have been reading all over the net that you do NOT deliver after payment. If I bid on this item, will you deliver? Why do you keep changing your eBay name? Bob | ||
| Richelson (Richelson)
|
Good idea Dan. I think if enough of us e-mail him maybe then he would get the hint and sent Mitchell his item. | ||
| Danny R. West (Dan_West348ts)

I sent a message asking the question. Are you the same Pham that did not honor the sale of this sign before? -------------------- Question from: network-dude Title of item: FERRARI CAVALLINO PRANCING HORSE DEALER SIGN* Seller: dubleclik Starts: Jan-07-02 20:20:04 PST Ends: Jan-12-02 20:20:04 PST Price: Currently $15.50 To view the item, go to: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1060277001 Visit eBay, The World's Online Marketplace TM at http://www.ebay.com We'll see if I get a response.

Hey I like that idea David! I did report the guy to ebay and they did repsond, but only an acknowlegment email. This guy has to go down. | ||
| Martin (Miami348ts)
|
I did it. Please do not bid with him. I put my price at over $900. Have a user ID I do not use! | ||
| david schirmer (David)
|
register under a fake user id on ebay and then bid up the price on his stuff so no one honest wins the bid. then deliver the money just like he delivers the goods. just an idea from my evil twin. | ||
| Richelson (Richelson)
|
This is outrageous. I can't believe he is posting the same item again. This is the second post after Mitchell's purchase. Mitchell did you call Ebay? | ||
| Martin (Miami348ts)
|
he is back posting.... http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1060277001 Lets heck out a sceeme. Who is up in Orlando and could pick up that sign? | ||

Here's the information - Good luck integrity is rare - unfortunately  | ||
| Mitchel DeFrancis (4re308)

Awesome!! This is great. Did you guys see that Martin348 almost got taken by this guy? I'm glad he did not. OK Richelson, whats that 800#. Thanks everyone, and please be cautious while using any online auction. | ||
| Richelson (Richelson)
|
Michael, those are very good ideas. Mitchell, I think I have the 800 # for Ebay in case you may need it. | ||

Mitchel, as usual the squeeky wheel gets the oil. Contact the Atttorney General in your state, the state this person lives in, and the state Ebay is located. File complaints seperately, specifically against Ebay since they were apprised of his fraudulent activities and with prior knowledge let this individual POST the same merchandise AGAIN. Point out that Ebay has been nothing but a conduit for subversive sales, and fraudulent activity, based on what you've described. Also contact the district attorney in your area and see if they have a consumer fraud dept. they may refer you to the D.A. in the jurisdiction this person lives, with this avenue you will be pursuing criminal charges, not sure of your $$ loss so don't know if it's a felony. You may also want to file a civil action against him for damages. Also follow up with the FTC, hopefully some of this will get you some remedy. | ||

His old user name was hotsauce2000, and he is a parasite and I am trying to get him busted. I just reported this to ebay again! Ebay has a problem not replying to my first report. I wonder how many people he has burned so far? OOOh boy if I ever get my hands on that guy. | ||
| BobD (Bobd)
|
And he's made it a "Private Auction - Bidders Identity Protected". That way nobody can contact the bidders to warn them this guy doesn't deliver. Slimebag. Zero feedback and a Private Auction on something like this... now there's an eBay lesson for all of us. | ||
| Martin (Miami348ts)
|
puh, I was bidding there as well....was outbid in the last minute | ||
| Mitchel DeFrancis (4re308)
|
YES THAT IS HIM!!! SAME PICTURE different user name!! Someone at ebay needs to know that he is utterly fraudulant! I want to kill that guy. | ||
| F-J'87EuroTR (Ferrarijoe)
|
Hey Mitchel, Is this the same sign up for sale again on Ebay? They did not show where their from other than the USA. If so, this guy has a lot of nerve. What about that Ph# for this puke? http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1057448238 Joe | ||
| Michael (Mtabije)
|
Start with your states Attorney General and also give the Federal Trade Commission a call or even your local Better Business Bureau. If they cannot do anything for you, I am sure they have a ton of resources to give you in order to remedy this bad situation. | ||
| Steven Pham (Stevendp)
|
Mitchel, no I do not know this guy. All I know is that he is Vietnamese from the name that you posted. If there is a language barrier than maybe I can help you. Other than that I can't be of much help since I live in Colorado and this A-hole is in Florida. Good luck. | ||
| Richelson (Richelson)

Ebay is getting worse and worse. I sold an item on Ebay and the high bidder decided that he didn't want to purchase the item. I asked him to please pay for the final value fee. He agreed. I never received payment. I then posted negative feedback on him. He in turn posted negative feedback on me even though he never paid for the item. Ebay would do nothing about it. It made me angry. I am sorry to hear that this guy did this to you. I think Ebay should start being more responsible. They are only concerned with the money that they make. I hope that you get your money back. | ||
| Mitchel DeFrancis (4re308)
|
Hey Steven, do you know this guy? Where are you located? You have the same last name as this guy. The thief cashed my check at a local SunTrust. I want to call his bank and tell them of his fradulant activities. | ||
| Steven Pham (Stevendp)
|
Sorry Ferrari chatters for the inappropriate language! It makes me so mad when I see these Vietnamese trying to make a quick buck by ripping people off! These low life just sit around thinking of new scams to pull on others. My apologies to all!!! | ||
| Steven Pham (Stevendp)
|
WHAT A DI*k! Post his phone number and let the payback begin! FUCKING VC!!!! | ||
| Mitchel DeFrancis (4re308)

I got madly ripped off by some schmuck in Orlando. Ebay has done nothing, the local police department has done nothing. I bought a glass Ferrari Cavallino sign off ebay from this guy and he cashed my check and never sent my sign. I even called the jerk countless times and he acted like he nothing of what I was speaking of. I got ripped off. If anyone has any "contacts" or information about this person, or can investigate let me know. Here is the a-hole's name and address: Phuong Pham 1414 Pine Acres Lane Orlando, FL 32835 USA I will post his phone number when I get home. If anyone can generate any info on this thief, let me know. I want him to pay for ripping me off. |
