On may 26th, 2014, I was shopping on ebay and came accross an auction for a playstation 3, some accessories, games, and a playstation vita. In the description it stated that the seller would be willing to sell all of it for $200.
I messaged flamerunner75 (the owner of this auction) and stated that I was interested. I was told that "he" was being sent over seas and asked if I would send a money gram. This person gave me his address, phone number, and then told me where and how to send the money.
My husband sent the money, text the number and conversed with this person a few times. After the money was picked up, we got no contact from this individual and was ignored. My husband started to worry if it was a scam.
After spending some time on the internet we, my husband and I, found that there were a number of reports from individuals who have done the same thing I did and are now out more money as well.
I have the original listing saved on my ebay account, the conversation between us is on there and i also have the paper work for the money gram. After calling the moneygram place, I found out that it was picked up in Atlanta, GA.

I saw your ps3 on eBay at the same time he had an Xbox 360 for sale.
I also got jipped by him for 160. He said he was in the airforce and was shipping out Saturday night. Gave me a packing number and everything only to find out it was a small envelope that was going to someone else... he didn't even use the same address u show for him.
We should have listened to eBay and not do the moneygram thing no matter how "messed up his PayPal was" I Hope this man is brought to justice one day soon! No telling how many more ppl he's messed with. :(
