About six years ago I watched an auctioneer grow on ebay. I saw that the auctions were getting larger and more were being posted. Everthing including feedback looked great. I bid and actually won on an extremely low bid. then came the payment email and the payment information conflicted with the posting. It had a different address. I called the Chicago Police because the street wasn't listed on mapquest. Turns out they wrote the wrong address and it was all a scam. I worked with ebay to shut down what amounted to over three hundred scam auctions from the same people.
