Jan. 21, Dartmouth College A Dartmouth sophomore had bid $4,000 for a car in an eBay auction, but did not win the auction. Soon after the auction’s end, the seller sent her an e-mail on her Dartmouth account, telling her that since the winner of the auction had failed to complete the transaction, she had the option to buy the car for $4,000. She decided to purchase the car, and the seller asked her to send a money order for the complete amount to Chicago through Western Union. The sophomore sent the money order, for which Western Union charged her $184, and never heard anything from the seller. She then contacted Hanover Police, who traced the location where the seller received the money order, and discovered that the seller had used a forged driver’s license to complete the transaction. Police are still investigating this case, and are receiving more help from Western Union than from eBay, according to Chief Nicholas Giaccone. “When law enforcement gets involved, eBay makes us go through lots of red tape and jump through hoops. By the time that’s all done, it’s too late to catch the individuals,” Giaccone said. More »
