Do not buy or sell anything on eBay until you hear what I have to say...

"Do you make these
mistakes on eBay!"

Whether you are new to eBay or you have been using it for years, you are making mistakes that are putting you in danger and you do not realize it. There are full time criminals posting auctions to eBay every day and they are going to snare you. I learned the hard way and now I can tell you how to trade safely on eBay.ael Ford
Dear Friend,


I love using ebay but I hate being scammed. I have used eBay for ten years and I have run a full time business on eBay plus I have written a number of books and produced other eBay related audio and video programs which have given me a lot of eBay experience. In that time I have been the victim of a scam or bad seller or bad buyer many times.

Before you finish this letter, I am going to give you, absolutely free, a software program that will help you identify fraudulent auctions and avoid them. But first, you should know why I am doing this.

Why I quit using eBay and why I returned

I quit using eBay for a long time after I was first scammed in 1998 but I returned. I returned determined to avoid being scammed again. And again I was scammed. But, I did learn from these experiences. I can help you avoid being scammed on eBay by sharing everything that I have learned in the last ten years, showing you everything I did wrong, and showing you everything you should do right.

When you place a bid on eBay, do you wonder if the seller is legitimate? When you send that payment off do you think you may never receive anything for your money? What will you do then? That is a lonely feeling isn't it. It is terrible to feel so unsure, to extend your trust to someone you do not know and then have them take advantage of you.

You trust someone and then they betray you. You trust someone and they send you a broken item that they knew was worthless. You trust someone and they do not send you anything at all. Now what do you do? You feel so alone and embarrassed, what can you do next?

“I used to use eBay all the time in the late 90's but then I had a bad experience that scared me off.......I was amazed at the number of ways a person can be scammed on eBay and PayPal...Michael's Program really helped me to use eBay with confidence. ...I am glad I listened to this program...You should not bid on anything without listening to the Auction Safety Kit."

Experience using eBay does not protect you from scams

Many people make the mistake of leaving eBay. They are turning their back on a great source of bargains and the only source of many antiques and collectables. Even worse, they may be turning their back on a future source of income.

Many people think they have eBay experience and because of that they can spot a scam. This is completely wrong. You can not identify a scam until you know exactly how criminal networks operate, how the steal accounts, how they build false feedback, and the tricks they use to lure experienced eBay users into their trap. You can spot fraudulent auctions but only after you know how they work.

Many people rely on the seller's feedback. This is a mistake because scam sellers create fake feedback profiles or they steal legitimate accounts. These can both be easily identified but you have to know what to look for.

Many people bid and hope for the best. This is a sure recipe for disaster. They may bid on a professional criminal's auction which can get them into very serious trouble, much more than the value of the auction. You must know what to look for in an auction and NEVER hope-for-the-best.

I faced these same questions. I used to wonder these same things but then I found out that there were signs that I could use to identify fraudulent auctions. I can identify fraudulent auctions before ever bidding. If I had only known how to do this when I started using eBay, I would have avoided many of my bad experiences.

When you deal with someone face-to-face you can make judgments about the person. When dealing with someone online, you need a new set of skills to judge whether or not the person can be trusted. Most of us do not have those skills because we never learned them. It is possible to identify fraudulent sellers before bidding or sending a payment but you must know what to look for.

Do you know about the ebay escrow scams? How about the Media Mail scam, or the round-about scam, the mystery auction scam, the wholesale-list-price scam, the vehicle down payment scam? These are very common on eBay and you need to know how to identify them so you can avoid them. These and many more scams are easy to identify if you simply know what to look for. I will tell you exactly what to look for.

Here is what happens when you do not know what I do

When you find out what I have to say, you will be able to use eBay with confidence and you will no longer worry about being ripped-off every time you bid. You can look at an auction with confidence and never play the guessing game when it comes to trusting a seller again.

This email was sent to me by Berlynn Sparks.

hello my names berlynn sparks i was an new member to ebay ... i recentley lost my car to a car dealer worm took my car and sold it so i got on ebay as a freind told me to find another car i found a car dealer i made an purchase of an 1992 grand marqese... i sent 3,590.00 too this man before ebay and refuses too send me the car i sent both checks by fedx mail hes received payment i have receipts that says hes paid the 23rd of january he wont give me the name of the shiping company thats sussposed too be shiping this car too me hes been telling me the same thing for the last past couple days now what it is is that hes trying too keep my money and not send me the car...i had just been a menber 1 week and this happend ive called he puts on his answering machine ive got delivery dates thats turned up nothing because i did make this purchase at the time i was on ebay im wondering if they would help me if not get the car atleast my noney back i just lost a car too another dealer because he stole my car and is in cort now because he sold the only traspertation i had this man should have tild ebay that i did make a purchase from him he did not he took my money can someone please tell me what too do for all i no this mans still got this car for sale on ebay but ive paid him for shiping and registration fees and taxes on this car please help

I receive messages like this all the time. The worst part is knowing that Berlynn did not have to be a victim. This scam was 100% avoidable. If only Berlynn had known what to look for and how to protect himself before he sent the money, he would still have his $3590.00 and he would have never dealt with this scammer.

All of the warning signs were in the auction but Berlynn did not know what to look for. Unfortunately he contacted me after he was scammed. He needed my information BEFORE he was scammed. That is why it is so important for every eBay user to know how to identify fraudulent auctions. You can do it, you simply need to know what to look for.

Almost every scam can be avoided by just looking for the common signs of a scam in the auction itself. I have made tens of thousands of transactions through eBay® and PayPal® as a buyer and seller and I continue using both because I know I can use them safely.

Ordinarily, it's very hard to identify scam auctions. This is why criminals use eBay, you are an easy target for them. However, I've put together an easy to use training kit that will show you how to identify fraudulent auctions every time and avoid them every time.

The solution to fraud on eBay is here

This kit contains everything I learned in my ten years of eBay experience plus a lot of information based on my research and interviews with victims. This kit contains everything you need to trade safely on eBay. Please, do not buy or sell anything on eBay until you know what I have to tell you.

I can't wait to tell you what this kit contains so here it is

  1. The Scams and Scoundrels book - If every eBay member knew the secrets in this book, the fraud rates on eBay would plummet so low, earthworms would not notice them This book contains what I learned over my ten years on eBay as a full time buyer and seller.
  2. My audio CD set which explains everything in the book. You do not have to read through the book. I know it is much easier to listen to this CD in your car or at home and that is why I made the audio version for you. The CD set explains everything you need to trade safely on eBay. This is the full, unabridged 5 CD set! It is packed with everything, and I mean everything you need to know about eBay scams.
  3. The Auction Inquisitor Security Report Series. This series of reports goes in-depth on a number of the most popular fraud schemes used on eBay. It includes Vehicle fraud, which is a favorite of scammers because they can steal thousands of dollars from every victim, Real Estate scams, Collectable scams, and more. Every one else pays $29.95 for EACH of these reports. Here is the proof: you can buy them On the Auction Inquisitor Site for $29.95 each right now, that is what everyone else has to pay for them. You get all five in the kit. Plus, I will include the audio versions of these reports on CD too and those are not even included in the regular $29.95 price that everyone else has to pay. You don't even have to read the reports, just listen to the CD's. I wanted to make it as easy as possible for you to use this system and what can be easier than kicking back in your recliner to listen to these CD's? If only Berlynn had the Vehicle Fraud Report before trying to buy a vehicle, if only..... That one report could have saved him over $3000.00 and that is only the value of one report, you get all five. These are the real reports, not eBooks, real bound reports with a real CD for each of them, that is FIVE more CD's plus the FIVE for the Scams And Scoundrels book..

EXTRA BONUS: Security Software - I am including as a free bonus three of the most important software programs any eBay user could have. These programs can protect you from fraudulent auctions, spoof emails, and make it easy for you to find what you want to buy on eBay.

EXTRA EXTRA BONUS: The Seven Keys Checklist. This short checklist lets you quickly identify fraudulent auctions. Simply go through these seven items and if the auction violates one of these rules, do not bid on it! These keys are in the new Auction Inquisitor report, Fraud And Problem Sellers On eBay. It shows which categories have the most fraud.

IMPORTANT! ... As you can see, any ONE of these exclusive bonuses could easily be worth far more than the investment if it saves you from being scammed a single time in your life!

What is the value to avoid having your life turned upside down

But you must ask yourself, what is it really worth to you if you can avoid being scammed for $200, $2000, or $3590 like the unfortunate Mr Berlynn Sparks. What is it worth to avoid the aggravation and embarrassment of being scammed out of only $20? What if you are conned by one of the more experienced crooks on eBay? Suddenly a $20 purchase can explode into a $2000 scam before you know what has happened plus you could receive a visit from the police accusing you of working with the crooks. Don't fall into their traps. Get the information you need to trade safely on eBay and order this kit now.

Do not wait. You may have already been scammed on eBay and not yet realize it. There are scams where the crook seller is only offering items in order to obtain your personal information or a scam buyer makes a payment that looks real but is counterfeit or will be electronically reversed. You need to know how to spot these scams so you can act before it is too late. You do not want to put your finances in danger or risk identity theft for one second so do not put off this important decision.

This is the only kit of its kind anywhere. As "The Auction Inquisitor" I am the recognized expert in eBay scams and no one else can say that. I reveal scams that even eBay was previously unaware of. I give advice that no other author would dare to even mention because it is so important that you know how scams really work and how to avoid them.

The FBI's IC3.gov website says "Online Auction fraud was by far the most reported offence, comprising 44.9% of referred complaints" and those are only the hand full of people who find the site and bother to report it. The real number is much higher.

It is easy to identify online auction fraud when you know how the scams work. Anyone can do it. This is not rocket science. A few simple steps can save you from being scammed and once I tell you how the scams work, you will be able to easily spot and avoid them.

You will never regret buying this Safety Kit. You will regret not buying it because you will soon find yourself the victim of fraud on eBay and then you will realize the fear, embarrassment, lost money, the visit from the police, could have all been avoided. I cannot make it any clearer how important this safety kit is to every eBay user.

If you are confused about online fraud or even if eBay confuses you, don't worry! I make it very clear and simple in this program. I give many examples of real auctions and explain in plain language exactly how scams work. Once you see how they work, they will be so obvious to you, they might as well have flashing signs on them saying SCAM! I have a no-nonsense style that may seem course sometimes but I believe in telling you the way things really are and I can take all of the confusion away and make everything clear.

If you buy or sell anything on eBay without this kit, you are taking a serious risk. Once you have this kit and you understand how to trade safely, only then can you use eBay with confidence. It is like the difference between driving a car with a blindfold and without. Please let me take away that blindfold so you can safely use eBay and gain the fun and excitement it has to offer without the danger and fear that lurk in the shadows.

 

I am offering this complete kit for only $67 and I am thinking about raising the price because the information is so valuable and this kit includes so much information plus the audio CDs and everyone keeps telling me I should charge more. This is the best investment you could ever make and it can potentially save you many times that small amount. It does not matter if you are new to eBay or if you have been trading for years, you have no idea how scammers really work until you know what is in this kit.

I don't know how long I can offer this discount before Amazon and the book store chains start to complain about me selling my book for less than they can so I am only guaranteeing the price for the first 250 units. Don't miss your chance to grab your kit, click HERE now.

Testimonials

Kramy Blankenship, San Jose CA - Scams and Scoundrels has completely changed my life. I had used eBay a few times but I was always afraid of buying something and not receiving it. I had read other books on eBay but still I felt uneasy when buying naything.

After reading Scams and Scoundrels and using what I learned, I now run a part time business selling stuff I buy at yard sales on eBay. I am no longer afraid of anyone taking advantage of me. My friends now call me to ask my advice before they buy anything. They think I am the super expert after I have saved two of them from being scammed. The Scams and Scoundrels book is the best investment I ever made and I have made many times what I spent on the book now that I can trade with confidence on eBay.

 

Jim Richardson, Los Angeles CA - I bought a laptop on eBay but thanks to your information in Scams and Scoundrels I did not buy the first one I found. I needed a laptop for home and work so I had to buy it myself(my boss would not pay for it). I do not need the latest and greatest only one that works and runs word processors that kind of thing. I was looking for a used laptop on eBay and found a great deal on one much nicer than I expected but as I read through the description I almost laughed. The scam was so obvious after reading Scams and Scoundrels it was silly. Then I realized that there were bids on this auction and there were many people who did not see this obvious scam. It was not so funny then. Scams and Scoundrels saved me from being scammed out of over $500 and after this I found a laptop I could afford which I received with no problems. Scams and Scoundrels has really taken the fear out of buying on eBay and I have saved many times the cost of the book buying bargain items through eBay.

WARNING:
Scammers do NOT want
you to hear what I have
to tell you. But I do!
