...Eff Being scammed on/by ebay?

[f2f4]

So apparently, there is a member on Ebay named "f2f4", who is selling stuff under my name. I don't know if he's ripping people off or not (someone said he was selling my Proto...:eek:?). I was told about this by a friend of mine, but since I don't have an Ebay account, I can't even run a freaking search on the name.

IF anyone can look this guy up, and possibly try to contact him/Ebay, that would be great. I don't like people impersonating me... I just dont know what to do, and I don't want my name tarnished.

Supposedly, this is a link to what I'm talking about. Lemme know if it works or not:
http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/MemberSearchResult?frompage=fmrshowpage&userid=f2f4&from=R7&nojspr=y&pfid=0

Sorry, if this isn't the right place. But I couldn't think of anywhere else to post it. :(

[clown_13_2001]

Maybe someone just chose that name. ;)

They have perfect feedback, and aren't selling anything right now.

Calm down, little man.:laugh:

[someday1188]

OH NOES! someone is messing with you again eff? r u sure it isn't the same kid as last time? o well i'll dig up what i can.

[f2f4]

Thanks.

Oh yeah, forgot to say... aparently, this guy has been using MY Aim s/n in his contact info, whereever that may be. Which may explain the large number of random Aim's about me selling stuff... :|

Clown - It would be okay, if he weren't using MY personal info, along with the name. At least from what I've been told.

[Whitecow]

I didn't contcat him but his record for 26 sellings is 100% so he's not trashing your name.

If he is selling your proto he needs the proto to give to the highest seller. Sorry but what moron gives a proto to a stranger...:eyes: :eyepop:

[robdamanii]

I get 100% feedback and no items for sale at the moment.

But really, I thought I had a unique screenname... the only part I don't get, is why he listed my aim for his stuff. I'm talking to a guy right now, who is convinced I was selling the Proto. He's trying to find the link, but it isn't forthcoming.

[coolrazer]

It says he's been a member of eBay for 4 years...

[f2f4]

What?!?

Okay, this is getting wierd. Why is he using my s/n, then? The guy I'm talking to insists he was given "xf2f4x" as a contact s/n, for any questions.

I am so confused right now. :banghead:

[United Idiots]

On top of that his first feedback is dated in 2000...

[f2f4]

To those who think I am making this up, here ya go:

[18:26] Pabz04: hey, did u sell ur proto?
[18:26] xf2f4x: Nope.

[18:35] xf2f4x: ...okay, try advanced search.
[18:36] xf2f4x: And click "Completed listings only"
[18:36] xf2f4x: so it wiull search ended auctions.
[18:36] xf2f4x: I would, but I have to be registered...
[18:36] xf2f4x: :(
[18:36] Pabz04: k
[18:36] xf2f4x: And just search "Proto matrix"
[18:36] xf2f4x: or maybe xf2f4x, but tthen you'd have to check "Search title and description "
[18:37] xf2f4x: along with the other one, that is.
[18:37] xf2f4x: I'm really worried, now.
[18:37] xf2f4x: lol
[18:38] xf2f4x: OMG
[18:38] xf2f4x: look at this:
[18:38] xf2f4x: http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/MemberSearchResult?frompage=fmrshowpage&userid=f2f4&from=R7&nojspr=y&pfid=0
[18:38] xf2f4x: lemme know if it works...
[18:38] xf2f4x: click the top result
[18:38] xf2f4x: since I cant

[18:47] Pabz04: nothing yet
[18:49] xf2f4x: who are you, on pbr again?
[18:49] Pabz04: ?
[18:50] xf2f4x: Sorry, thought you were from a web forum.
[18:50] xf2f4x: My bad.
[18:50] xf2f4x: Not many people outside of there use this screenname to contact me...
[18:50] xf2f4x: But since It was on Ebay, I can see why
[18:56] Pabz04: can't find anything on it
[18:56] Pabz04: sry
[18:56] xf2f4x: Well, if you ever see him selling anything, could you lemme know?
[18:56] xf2f4x: Ah, no prob
[18:57] xf2f4x: I'm just concerned that someone is ripping off my name... since I'm a rather well-known resaler, I can see it happening
[18:57] Pabz04: but y would they put u as a contact?
[18:58] xf2f4x: I dunno.
[18:58] xf2f4x: You sure you can't remember the guy's name?

[f2f4]

None of this is making any sense. If he registered that long ago... why is he linking to my screenname? Or... maybe it was someone else, using that name?

I wish I could just call up Ebay, and rant at them for awhile.

[Deceased_Sniper]

Try to sign in on ebay under f2f4 and use your normal password and see if it works :P.

But that does kinda suck... maybe its jsut some kid screwing with you. Because what are the odds of a dude on Ebay named F2F4 having a Proto...

[DagNasty]

I contacted him via email, let him know of the situation and requested some clarification or info if he has any.

this may be a scammer using both your feedback and paintball info, and this guys ebay feedback.

For the time being, if you have feedback here or anywhere else, post a note in there about shady dealings with your screen name and if anyone contacts you, let them know that there is no marker for sale and that you are not the one initiating these false claims. Do not accept money, do not give out any email address and refer people to this thread for additional clarification.

If this is indeed a scammer situation, you may need to contact ebay. Please continue to post aol conversations, save them, and make a note of the people who contact you.

Thats me, I had that account since i was 11, I got tired of people IMing me so i decided to smurf an SN as "xf2f4x" cuz im not very creative. I'm sellin my friend's proto for him.

[wordf0o]

F2F4...I would've that is a unique name too.

the ebay f2f4 has been buying/selling on ebay motors, I think all of them have been motorcycle related.

I'll be sure to turn on logging in Trillian, so if anyone else contacts me, I'll have it saved.

One other thing I noticed from the screenshot, is that there are a bunch of "f2f4 wannabees". Things such as "f214", "l2f4", "f2d4", and the like. Any explanation for this? Or is some computer automatically selling things, and just selecting a random series of names?

[Deceased_Sniper]

I think theres over 100 million e-bay accounts eff. Relax man :).

yup.. and considering Honda makes an F2 and F4 crotch rocket you're bound to find many variants.

[Everlight389]

I love my feedback page... "With some minor fixes it was working like an angel... thanks!" And they leave me negative :dodgy:

Ebay sucks :tdown:

Same people who wanted their money back... idiots. I had the gun perfectly tuned, I dunno what the hell they did to it to screw it up, or they didn't read the description that it WAS A MECH COCKER. Oh well, I still got the $400 out of them.

Fools, I despise idiots, yet the world is full of them.

[coolrazer]

They had to have pushed the wrong button or something.

Nah, they were the ones who tried to scam me into giving them their money back while they still had the gun.

[PaintballPimp90]

yo everlight ur selling firgen paintted plates on ebay lol u lil girly man jk lol y are u doin that ur sellin a mech cocker and plates not a couple ud see normally

[CountyPaintball]

Maybe this f2f4 person isn't impersonating you. Maybe you're impersonating him!

Probably just a coincidence. A name with just a few letters numbers would be pretty common.

[slushii]

was jeezer kidding?

[§checky]

ya I think he was slush. Stupid muffin eating, math problem doing, rice craving azn ;)

lol he's probably doing his sister Colleen a favor. Hey man, my mom'd always be interested in buying one...

Also this whole impersonating thing would be alot simpler if we knew what f2f4 stood for. Is it something common or just random letters? Will we ever find out what it stands for, how he got the ideas for the cards in his mask, or what Chris's middle name is? Stay tuned for another episode of Paintball Scammed on Ebay!

Yeah, Ebay sucks. All I want to know now, is why my Aim name was being used, in a Proto f/s thingar.

Its my Moms account... she buys some stuff like that. We haven't sold anything yet besides my gun though. I should've sold it through my friends Mom's account though, as she has 1500+ feedback with 1 negative... its pretty crazy good. The first gun I sod with her account I got $100 more than I bought it for :D

[GranDream]

I know how you feel, eff. Somebody on SBreview stole my name, he even put that he likes paintball in his profile, so whichever one of you guys it is that did it can fess up now:P
