Ridgewood NJ, despite repeated warnings from the Ridgewood police and articles on this blog on December 24, a Laurel Road resident reported being the victim of a fraud and theft by deception. The victim reported while attempting to purchase a vehicle listed on ebaymotors.com, the seller convinced the victim to make payments by purchasing eBay gift cards as payment for the vehicle. The victim reportedly purchased the gift cards and provided the seller the gift cards online before realizing the fraud. The victim notified the eBay internet crime complaint center of the incident.
I’m sure eBay will cover the loss despite this fool falling for the oldest trick in the book.
By the way, my friend in Nigeria said a laurel road resident just got a million dollar inheritance. They need to wire three thousand dollars for the legal fees so they can send him the inheritance lol.
More people should read the papers and the blog.
What was the car?
What a coincidence, my friend in Sierra Leone just emailed me and told me I won the Lottery! 4 million! Can you believe ? As soon as I western union the taxes I’ll be rolling in it! Oh happy day!
I just cant believe people fall for things like this. While i feel sorry for the victim, i just keep wondering “what were you thinking?”. It just seems surreal.
