Huge eBay Faud Case Indicts 21 Suspects
In one of the largest Internet fraud cases in US history, federal fraud charges were filed on Thursday against 21 defendants who allegedly participated in an international fraud scheme in which victims were led to believe that they were purchasing items that were listed for sale on the Internet, typically via auctions on eBay, but then did not receive the goods that they paid for.
Altogether, the defendants and others allegedly illegally obtained more than $5 million, which was collected mostly in the Chicago area over the last three years from more than 2,000 victims from across the United States and abroad as part of an Internet-based scheme that originated in Romania.
