I admit it, I was stupid. Last January, my wife was 7 month pregnant and we had decided that we wanted a good SLR camera to record the birth and development of our daughter. These cameras are expensive, and so I looked around on ebay. We were looking for a Nikon D80, which is listed in retail stores at about $1200 plus tax. When I logged into ebay, I was looking for somebody in Canada. The listing that I found, from Asif Zamir, had a D80 body for sale for about $900 Canadian. I emailed Asif, asked him about it, he seemed very nice. Of course he did!
Anyway, I Googled Asif Zamir and found that he was a self-proclaimed devout Christian (hence my Churchsign picture). I looked at his feedback on ebay, some was bad but always resolved amicably, with a refund. The alarm bells should have gone off when he said no credit card or PayPal, but like I said, I was stupid.
It wasn't long after having sent the money that I started to get concerned. Some bad feedback came in and then Asif's ebay account was suspended. I don't know if you've ever tried to get information about another user from ebay, but you can't. I asked them why they suspended his account and they just blah blah about privacy.
Gotta go, I'll continue later!
