[meteorite-list] UPDATE: EBAY SCAM ALERT - balogne_t

Sat Dec 29 12:36:30 EST 2012

Hi Ruben and list,

When you Google Sam Tougant the first 3 hits are "Update: Ebay Scam Alert"
or a slight variation.

Pietro Ferrarro comes up as "Update: Ebay Scam Alert" as the second hit.

balogne_t comes up as "Update:Ebay Scam Alert" as the second and third hits.
The first hit is his/it's profile on Ebay:
http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/balogne_t/

The fourth hit is a member with the ID of balogne_t on Ford Forums Online. 

Your mileage my vary.

I would think that if potential buyers do a Google Search they will see some
red flags.

Best regards,

Charley

Hi List and Happy Holidays. Just was wondering... what in your opinions may
have helped create an increase in meteorite theft? For example did it start
from the news media coverage of a meteorite say like Carancas? Was it when
some of the Lunar samples when up on the auction block showing the value of
meteorites were better then gold? Did or does the media weigh heavily on the
value of meteorites to its viewers? In your opinion, what was the defining
moment or incident that opened up a Pandora's box to the increase in
meteorite theft?
Sincerely

Hi all,

Please indulge me one more time...

If this drama hasn't yet put you to sleep or made you want to hang yourself
from a spinning overhead fan - click on the link to my Scams and Scammers
page!
http://www.mrmeteorite.com/scamsandscammers.htm

I've given this jerk a whole page of attention.

It seems that me refunding all of his purchases has prompted him to leave
yet more negative feedback. Nothing, and I mean nothing adds up with this
clown!

His Pay-pal address is in Canada while ebay says he lives in the USA... His
name is either Sam Tougant or Pietro Ferrarro. He even lists the customs
number on his feedback and then (in the same
sentence) claim I never shipped...

More of you are emailing me saying you're blocking him so I'm feeling a
little better!

Hi, Ruben, All,

For all its worth, if you enter his address in Google Maps/satellite, you
can see a young adult male walking up his driveway from several angles.
(Not that this scammer would likely personally attend a meteorite function)
Knowledge is power.

Cheers,
Pete
