Woman on the run in big eBay fraud case

TUMWATER, Wash. - A former Tumwater woman is on the run after Thurston County prosecutors charged her Tuesday in one of the biggest fraud cases in county history.
Video

Paul Aker reports on the fraud
More... Custom Video...

Sri Lankan native Shaniha Somasundaran allegedly took hundreds of thousands of dollars from people who responded to her eBay offers to sell gold coins. But in many cases Somasundaran never delivered, said both a Thurston County prosecutor and Somasundaran's attorney.

Somasundaran is charged with 58 counts of theft that prosecutors say began last December and continued through April.

Senior Assistant Prosecutor Joe Wheeler estimates there are at least 175 victims from at least 15 states. Wheeler believes the total loss is more than $1 million with some victims losing as much as $32,000.

"It's a huge case," Wheeler said.

Yep. Just more proof of what a scam sleazebay is. Anyone would have to be really stupid to not realize that. (or really bored)

What did sleazebay do with IT's share of ther scam?

(BTW, is the person in this article from ther same place as sleazebay spokesperson Handsi Dirty?)

Well that's just another reason I don't "debate" with them that much any more.
WASTE OF TIME.
You never WILL convince them until they are not being paid anymore.
Besides it's NOT them that need convincing anyway.
(Actually no one needs convincing anymore)
They know the truth but are PAID to try and hide it.

Simple as that.

Even at ppsux. Many of us decided to just let the fools figure it out for themselves.
One things for certain... they wont be using it anymore. LOL

On a side note: an old and good debater (for ppbay)
who was also a voices member, at one time, has seen the light.

OK MANY of them have just like the consumers.
eBay market penetration worldwide is now well under 25%
more close to 20% and still falling.

MILLIONS ARE AWARE.

Xppman, quite right as usual

Plain and simple they are crooked. (and everyone can see it)

stamptard should be along soon with some ridiculous rebuttal, and/or a reason to ignore the obvious

It's VERY telling when they can create a scan program to find key words like "PP sux" or
"Send cash", but NOT create one to scan for "Louis Venten purse 10.00"
or "Gucci hand bag 4.95" or 'laptop computer .99'.

Yes verification AT THE GATE can be achieved.

But the debate really don;t matter anyway now does it?

The fools have THREE TIME more inactive users than they do active.
That says it all.
The FEDS may not need to step in.
The consumers are simply making the choice NOT to do eBay.

Very good indeed.

Librarian sold stolen books on eBay

A follow-up to the first news report in this thread.

Note the fact that once again, dysfunction, theft, heartache, depression, altered states of mind, and of course, as with all ebay related stories, a strong element of abject surreality accompany the report.

Denise Fitzpatrick, in mitigation, said that his motive for the thefts was not financial. The buzz he gained from stealing the books was an “emotional release from the turmoil he found himself in”. He was now “filled with remorse”.
(Why, it sounds like someone could have been coached by none other than sleazebay spokesperson Handsi Dirty, doesnt it?)

The criminal walked out of court a free man. Good thing for sleazebay's lax sign up requirements, he can be back to selling more stolen goods in no time! (Not to say his former ID is not still a member in good standing, as that nyc fireman-poser rapist, 'gulag'-whatever)

Nice picture of the heartbroken heartbroken, remorseful thief here. (looks like the typical ebayer)

Why has sleazebay lobbied against any sort of legislation designed to regulate or certify or license sellers in various states?

Personally I think there should be a federal law requiring every internet user a license to get on the internet. The more the federal and state government get involved the better. Sale taxes, pornography, pirating, censorship could all be controlled if we'll only let the federal and state governments get better control of this media.

I'm glad someone else wants more government involvement in our lives besides me.

How about some real registration and verification, AT THE GATE?

sleazebay wont change that because they make a profit on letting anyone register, without basically jack squat...

RIGHT ON BRO!!!

EBay should have to submit to the same standards as the other sites. Yahoo auctions, MSN auctions, Amazon sales, Google advertisements, etc.. To let eBay register sellers with simply a credit card and bank account number or credit check isn't acceptable. Yahoo, MSN, Amazon, Google all do much more extensive background checks before they let anyone register with them, I'm pretty sure they send a representative to the registrant address and investigate him thoroughly.

EBay should require that all sellers take credit cards so the consumer isn't left hanging in the wind if the item isn't shipped or isn't as described. YES! YES! YES! For eBay to allow sellers to accept money orders and checks is inviting disaster!

Bet you can hardly wait til the ankle bracelet comes off, eh?

How about some real registration and verification, AT THE GATE?

sleazebay wont change that because they make a profit on letting anyone register, without basically jack squat, and do a ton of BINs for example. If it cut into their profit to be sloppy, sleazebay would have already changed it.

Simple as that.

TEbay is an essential part of many scams

Amen Brother! Preach it loud because people need to know about eBay's role in crime.

If eBay wasn't around scam artist wouldn't be able to operate. Google won't let some scam artist run a "psychic" service ad offering phony readings to milk the ignorant of their money. You won't find any other auction site offering pirated DVD's, CD's, and Game disks. EBay is the only one that will accept such merchandise.

How people can allow eBay to operate is a total mystery!!! Before something is offered on eBay it should be examined and certified to be authentic before it can be put up for auction.

Only with message boards like this can reasonable voices begin to get the publics attention and teach them of the evils of eBay.

They sure do rake in the profits from a wide array of scams. They do nothing pro-active to prevent it. They freeload for their security. Nothing but a scam, populated, run and used by slippery weasels and criminals.

We shall see what all the lawsuits from the exclusive brands brings about. They certainly has raised consumer awareness. Most everyone who is not a kool-aid drinking hardcore ebay cultist knows it is nothing but a scam and a sleazepit.

Ebay is an essential part of many scams, which they have knowledge of, and for which they are compensated. Seems that at some point they are at least just plain negligent. ~ Criminally since so many lose so much money, without any real redress. (then they try to collect the 25 dollar ebay protection deductible from victims too---what a scam!!!)

Here was another shocking illustration of ebay related crime here:

While eBay can't not be held libel for the actions of the scam seller
in this situation.
The no doubt they have become the worldwide fencing network for sure.

they sure do little to nothing to try and curb it as we al know they profit from it so there is no incentive for them too.
But it is good to see so many heavy hitters going after them in court.

The good news really is that the general public seems to have caught on too.
That's why we see so MANY inactive numbers reported.

Buyers are as sick and tired of the place as sellers.

It's almost game over. IMO

Does the "just a venue" defense hold up with rented drug houses, or do they eventually do something to the landlord?

I'm my state if a murder is committed in a rental unit the landlord is indicted as a co-conspirator. If the murder weapon was purchased at a local store the store owner is also indicted as a co-conspirator.

I'm just waiting for the day when a murder weapon is proved to have been purchased from eBay. Walmart, Kmart, Sears, all bear the responsibility if a Ginsu knife they sold was used in the commission of a crime and have acknowledged their responsibility. EBay should not be given special treatment!!!

When will eBay make the changes they need to make. How could eBay let someone sell Legos on their site without supplying proof of ownership?

When I put up some Legos for sale in the local classifieds they ask for my original receipt and my federal Legos license. You would think that eBay would be subjected to the same requirements the local classifieds require.

As people wake up they will learn how evil eBay is.

Ex-Reno man indicted in "Lego" theft, eBay scam

RENO, Nev. (AP) - A federal grand jury indicted a former Nevada man Wednesday on charges accusing him of stealing hundreds of thousand of dollars of "Lego" merchandise from stores in at least five states and reselling it on the Internet.

William A. Swanberg, 41, Hillsboro, Ore., allegedly obtained the Lego building blocks and other goods illegally for much less than the legitimate price by placing counterfeit bar code labels over the real labels before paying for them at check-out stand, U.S. Attorney Daniel G. Bogden said.... (continued, click the link)

No wonder there are such apparent great deals on sleazebay, it is stolen!

What was sleazebay's cut from the sales? Should they not bear some of the burden/penalty as a co-conspirator?

Does the "just a venue" defense hold up with rented drug houses, or do they eventually do something to the landlord?

The scammers come back. Folks who have been burnt on sleazebay stay clear. Some of the biggest scammers are there and just have not been caught yet, or make sleazebay soooo much money that sleazebay apparently protects them.

Sleazebay/PainPal rely on newbies, so it is a good idea to tell folks who have never heard of or used it that is is, IN FACT, the worlds biggest, sleaziest scam, run by and populated with some of the worst sleazes in all known history.

(think of the children, those poor innocent children I say...)

I wonder what the ratio is now for scammers on e-bay as opposed to the honest people that used to do bussiness with them. If E-pay is losing 84 million customers a quarter, How much you want to bet those are all the HONEST ones leaving!

Ebay does not mind turning a quick, pimp-like profit on stolen priceless artworks

"We just found a pair of cannon on eBay - French 18th Century," said Radcliffe, whose paper-strewn office bears witness to the volume of cases the register handles. "EBay is just stuffed full of stolen goods."

Sleazebay is the world's biggest pimp/fence. The facts prove it!

Maybe a petition should be started demanding that seller's are required to show proof of purchase and or ownership of an item before it is listed. Maybe eBay will be forced to make such a requirement or another auction site might decide it would be a boom to business do make such a requirement.

It doesn't seem like it would be asking much for eBay to require a receipt proving you came by an item legally. Why don't they do this?

Well since ebay is aware of the problem, does nothing to stop it, has profited, and continues to profit from it, begins to look like conspiracy of some sort. Even since the Tiffany lawsuit not much has really been done by ebay to combat counterfeits.

It is all about the $$$ for ebay, they have NO regard for the consumer whatsover. The facts and figures prove it.
