MacAddict Tracks Down eBay Scam Artist
OS24Ever writes "A future high school history teacher, Jason Eric Smith, sold an 867MHz PowerBook G4 on eBay right before finals. He found out the hard way that people are out there to rip you off, and he went to great lengths to catch this guy with the help of Mac heads everywhere. A great read and agreat way for us little guys to get back at these scammers."
Doesn't FedEX have some responsibility in this case? After all, if you ship something COD and they accept a counterfit check, why is that completely your fault?
... where do you draw the line? Any ideas?
I'm not saying that it isn't legally your problem, just that in an ideal world it shouldn't be. After all, presumably it would be FedEX's fault if they accepted something written in crayon on a brown paper sack
You're special forces then? That's great! I just love your olympics!
Like he said. That was dumb. Handing a check to the UPS man doesn't get him paid. He should have made the guy send the check and then waited for it to clear, and THEN sent the puter to the guy. COD is a bad idea.
