Habitual Scammer Auctioning Off Dinner Date
from the what-are-the-chances-she-shows-up? dept
A woman who apparently has left a long line of scams and crimes (including driving over her mother) in her wake, and who is wanted in many places, is apparently trying to auction off a dinner date on eBay at a "mystery location", where she claims she'd tell the stories of her various scams and crimes. eBay has taken the auction down, but not because of the nature of the auction, but because the woman also was trying to sell her own book separately within the same auction - and eBay frowns on you trying to offer two separate deals in a single auction. Of course, police say most of the "stories" you might hear from this woman are made up. You also have to wonder if the woman would ever actually show up. Among her many, many scams, she's been accused of selling stuff on eBay and not delivering the goods.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
