Diamonds on eBay

[reconboy]

Just throwing 2 cents around but if the phones are coming from the insurance company they are keeping track of the IMEI and Serial number in their computer data bases when they ship the items out. Once you activate on your account it probably sends a trigger to Asurion that the phone has been activated.

I have purchased the same phone and I am in the same boat, personally I think that Asurion should allow us to keep the phones and go after those who commited the fraud/scam themselves.

User on ebay whom I purchased through was johnjohn0317 , and he had a very good rep himself with 100%. He has since been removed from ebay and I received an alert from ebay about the purchase made " DO NOT COMPLETE TRANSACTION" (about 2 weeks too late for that since I have the phone active on my account now)

I am going to wait it out to see what happens and if I get the charge I have all my records in place showing the phone sale from Ebay and the cash transaction from paypal through hard copy and soft copy. If Asurion wants to charge me for the phone then I think this may be a means to contact my local attorney general to see what legal actions I can take.

I did speak with Paypal Security , they are stating to do a dispute because the item received was not as described meaning they did not include this was an insurance transaction. So I may go ahead and do that just to be on the safe side.

Hopefully this will just pass and I have to do nothing but the more I read and see about this scam the more I am thinking this is heading the wrong direction.

I bought a diamond for my wife from this same seller and received the same alert from ebay as well and late as well (they sure are on top of things). Anyways I contacted paypal and I described the situation on how item was not described and it all seemed fishy, but all I could get from paypal was the guys email address. They want me to contact him to get things resolved first. I didn't bother to email him cuz I'm sure he knows what he's doing and I expect either some b.s. answer or no reply.

I sure hope that sprint doesn't charge us cuz we are getting scammed just like sprint and asurion is. I'll fight the charges and fight to get my money back from paypal or something.

I have his email address along with his REAL NAME , which you should have the same thing in your transaction from PAYPAL.

Also look at the shipping slip on the box the phone came in , it should also list his name there to0.
