This user stole pictures... FROM ME! Started a watch at a low amount without reserve, someone will get scammed out of their money!

Listing in question:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Romain-Jerome-TI...lenotsupported

My listing where the description AND pictures were stolen from (I hope this is not a violation of TRF rules, if so, please let me know):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MESE:IT

The scammer's user ID on ebay is 'was_eem_akram'

What a blatant scam!

Shall I do the honors

Yes, please!

idk01 · 30 June 2009, 01:21 AM

Just have to add the Q&A:

Q: Please could you email me your photos in a better solution? My email is ######@######.### - Thanks, Jun-28-09
A: hi, i do i make the solution better? sorry not really good with it.

train-time · 30 June 2009, 01:30 AM

Greg, unbelievable!! It's still out there.

I have seen it with a few that I have posted also. I take between 35 - 40 shots and sometimes more per listing to get a handful of good ones and they end being stolen for other listings. I guess it's a backwards compliment!!

Mosco · 30 June 2009, 01:30 AM

I actually emailed the person who asked that question - told him it was a scam.

onkyo · 30 June 2009, 01:31 AM

Greg, you must have been a little surprised when you saw those pictures.....

No problem showing the source which happens to be your auction.

I would like to lend a hand (aka nudge) with this one.

Problem is - he probably does not have the watch (otherwise he would not be listing it at 'no reserve' - these DO NOT get discounted at all!) and someone will pay good money for a box of air.

Even with the watermark they have the audacity....

Absolutely correct!! COMPLETE FRAUD.

Sad thing is the scammer in competing with you and is gonna rip somebody off.

It's gotta go!!

idk01 · 30 June 2009, 02:11 AM

Hmmmm..... seems to be clinging on a bit, secondary nudge initiated

On that note I might see if this nice migraine will let me get some actual sleep

Catch up in the next couple hours

Just a s abackground, I contacted the seller asking him why he is stealing my photos (literally, a 1-liner asking just that, much less than I actually WANTED to say to the bastid). Here is his reply:

Dear ************,

Hi,sorry but the pictures i got were of the internet of a website. please let me use these pictures for my auction as i really need to get a sale on this item.
i am awaiting for a reply from you.
many thanks

Well - it's my old watermark (changed user ID's), so maybe he thought I was "out of business". Farkin irrelevant, TAKE YOUR OWN PICS!

Gone again

This listing (200358097648) has been removed or is no longer available.

onkyo · 30 June 2009, 10:25 AM

Wow.... no delay there.

Need to keep a close eye for recurrence.

Mosco · 30 June 2009, 10:26 AM

back AGAIN!!!!! now he says he'll email pictures, but the listing does not have any. However, the text has been stolen from my listing....

http://cgi.ebay.com/Romain-Jerome-TI...lenotsupported

P.S. I wonder whose pictures he will email!

onkyo · 30 June 2009, 10:28 AM

Makes no sense he can email photos but won't post them.....

unless he is selling an obvious fake or selling 'air'.

Either way the can is calling.

And then some, definitely something to hide here

Mosco · 30 June 2009, 01:00 PM

In addition to the "was_eem_akram" scammer discussed here, there are two other ebay user ID's, all are related:
1)'bltz23374' - clicked 'buy it now' on my item, the actual watch, seconds after the scumbag 'a' relisted his item, to make mine disappear off ebay (of course, I relsited)

2)'mobile.city' - keeps fishing for other pictures of this watch, one without watermark. Has emailed me several times asking for those.

Strangely enough - ALL three are in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, UK. Real names are: Mahroof Ussain, Wasim Akran, and Javid Khan. Something tells me they know each other.

What am I supposed to do?

onkyo · 30 June 2009, 01:06 PM

bltz23374 bought a BMW Z3M coupe from was_eem_akram ...... this is an organized scam.

eus6267 · 30 June 2009, 01:44 PM

For giggles, I sent this guy an e-mail from eBay asking what his bottom price is for this item. I also asked him to e-mail me some pics.
