Ebay Scamming Teen Faces 40 Years Jail

Recommended Posts

A teenager from Gainsville, Georgia, faces a possible 40 years in jail for ripping off eBay customers.

 

Grogory Klimeck, 19, is accused of advertising non-existent goods and pocketing more than $4,500 in payments.

 

In one instance, he advertised ATI Technologies All-in-Wonder video card and took 20 payments ranging from $20 to over $250. Police say he never had the video card in the first place.

 

The net closed on the evil criminal genius when complaints to the FBI's Internet Fraud Complaint Center were forwarded to local police. Klimeck now faces a date with the judge on 21 counts of theft by deception and one of racketeering. If convicted, he could be fined $20,000 or be breaking rocks for a sobering 40 years.

Which begs the question: what on earth happens to you down in Georgia if you do something really bad? We suspect it involves a gurney, straps, needles and a viewing gallery packed with enraged relatives. You have been warned.

That's so stupid. There's plenty of money to be made on eBay without ripping people off. You just have to have a volume discount on a product that not everyone has, and go nuts.

 

Example: My dad hustled Beanie Babies for about 6 months and made a killing. It took him about two weeks of selling before he started doing volume. He actually went to Canada and bought the Canada-only stuff, then turned around and sold it here. I forget how much he actually made, but I remember how he had 3 rows of 100 gallon tubs that almost touched the ceiling in the den. It was crazy.

 

Another example: I know an ex-longhair who goes to yard sales and buys every First Edition copy of any book he can find. He also buys storage lots that are up for auction (They normally go for about $15 apiece). He recently bought about 15 of them for $162. He sold a table from one of them for $175. Some of his stuff will go on eBay, and some of it will be sold locally. Regardless, he doesn't even have to try at making back his money on the contents of storage lots.
