Several weeks ago, I received a call from a young man who identified himself and asked if I knew "this" person. I/We did not. He said he was purchasing a motor cycle from "this person's boyfriend" on eBay and gave our address as her address. Seems "this" lives in Pittsburgh and we live in a very small village in the center of the state. How did "this" select our address. We are both in our mid-70s, do not own a motorcycle and I doubt it was a girlfriend. I assured the caller that we had no knowledge of the transaction. I understand from the caller that the eBay fraud group as well as the state police are involved. -- Am wondering how this turned out.
I wish these fraudsters would spend as much time in legitimate activity as they do in ripping us off. Obviously, they are "smart" folks.
