I had this idea whilst reading a thread on RS, sorry Jabba I was bored and had read all the threads on here.

Anyway, the thread was about someone who got a negative from a buyer who claimed he didn't receive the item. Yet started a listing for the exact same item on the day he negged the seller.
It got me thinking, how much fun wuld it be to set up a false account with the sole aim of ****ing over scammers like that? Bidding up their items to stupid levels or buying their BIN items, and obviously not paying or claiming the item never arrived. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

Okay Ebay may EVENTUALLY get off their fat asses and close the account we set up, but it would be nice to **** over a few of those sellers/buyers who have ****ed us over.

What do you guys think?
 
I've started to send all items recorded delivery to try and prevent claims like that. Most of the time I have already spent the money in my paypal account before they can claim anyway !! :twisted:
 
Most of them Jay! :lol:

There are a few decent blokes on there, but too many are up their own arses or simply refuse to tolerate any opinion other than their own.
It's not a bad source of info though, and the classifieds are more reliable than Ebay.
 
I think the key with RS is to stick to making short simple comments on non-controversial subjects if you want a happy time. I try to avoid making posts that can be pulled apart line by line. I like a debate but the way some of them talk to each other you'd be wanting to give them a dry slap. My rule with forums and emails is never to say something you wouldn't face-to-face.

As for the scammers, it sounds like a good idea. Let em ave it with both barrels. It would be good to see the results :D
