So, Im searching around on ebay for some miners, and come across a CoinTerra pre-order listing. The listing shows a screen shot picture of the order, with the billing/shipping address, the address part is cut out but the name is....MY NAME (Matt Crandall) and the item is shipping from LAGUNA NIGUEL, my home address. So obviously this seller is a scammer and has somehow stolen my identity.

Heres the listing:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/141159306596

I was scammed out of 15btc about 2 months ago buying 2 miners off etsy, and I think this might be the same person. What the hell should I do?? I already contacted ebay security and am still awaiting a response.

It's just awesome you found this... Well, obviously not awesome what happened to you... But you know what I mean. Up until now, he's only been a buyer, now all of a sudden he's selling thousands of dollars worth in mining equipment? Good thing is, his Paypal is probably linked to his real identity.

Gather up screenshots of his listings, past transaction feedback, whatever you can. And don't let him know you're aware. Just in case he removes everything after eBay contacts him.

What happened exactly? Not familiar with etsy.

Holy SH!T!!!

I can't believe you were randomly strolling along eBay and found your name + address on a listing.

Did you get it resolved? What happened?

Yeah, eBay and PayPal, fuck them to death. Here's my rant about their BS services:
