a coworker of mine found a sweet deal on an item. he won the auction and sent the payment to the seller.

the seller hacked an individuals ebay account and used that as a front to collect the wired money and jet. any ideas?

1. western union-a picture id with the ebay persons identity was used to collect the funds. no go.

2. ebay- still waiting for response. the seller actually pulled the item off of auction, so the item id does not come up on a search. the e-mail address given on the hacked ebay account does not match up when doing a search.

3. yahoo- i told him to contact the police and get an administrative subpoena to have yahoo release the id of who is the owner/user of the email address ***@yahoo.com.

anyone have any good news i can help this fella out with. i will keep my fingers crossed.
