Dear users that were victims (or almost victims) of the Ebay Nigeria Scam: I was a victim this week and I filed a complaint in the Federal Trade Comission (https://www.ftc.gov/) suggested by Ebay staff after hearing my (not uncommon) story. I was a first time user and that's the kind of user this criminal group seeks. Let's ALL fill a complaint on the FTC website. If we all send information about this group, they might be able to stop them. Probably not get our products back, but they have to stop this to happen again. This group's email, phone number and information of course must be fake, but if we all put an effort to do that, they might find a pattern in something. I know at least that the address is always from Lagos, Nigeria. 1) Go to the website and click on Consumer Complaint 2) Choose the option: Internet Services, Online Shopping and Computer 3) Choose "Online Shopping" or click on this link to go directly to this option https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/GettingStarted?NextQID=203&Url=%23%26panel1-6#crnt 4) I skipped number 3 (Company Details) and added my story with all the information (sender's email and fake name, Nigeria address, buyer's phone number). I wrote avery detail and added this forum o they see it's happening ALL the time! Let's do it, guys! They are criminals and have to be stopped!
