He's just reporting news. This guy scammed through Ebay. And it is Matrixwatch's opinion that matrix auctions on Ebay are also scams. However, you are entitled to your opinion as I am sure it is very valued by some.

I made my intentions for posting this message quite clear in my second, follow-up post. This thread was posted in the general discussion area of the "eBay watch dogs" forum, as you can see on the top of the page. I am researching our options of going after eBay scams on a much broader level. I am not linking these scams with the matrix auctions. That would be absurd.

So anything we consider bad we can tie to anything else we consider to be bad? Like I consider Bin Laden to be a bad person and certain members of this site to be bad, so it is fair then to compare the 2 right?

If you want to sure. Like I said, it's just an opinion.

But I think that they are a little similar. Look how the article opens: "A man accused of defrauding hundreds of thousands of dollars from eBay customers who thought they were buying computers was sentenced Friday to three years in a state facility, and ordered to pay back the lost funds."

Now what this guy did is a completely different operation. But it can still be viewed as similar: Ebay, misleading, scam, electronics, many upset customers?

sig, do you post just to disagree with everything that anybody says here? And you whine about having people come down on you when you post something pro-matrix.

The post was about a guy who was scamming people on computers. There was no mention of matrix at all. However, I'll make it matrix related...there were a bunch of people on ebay claiming that they were selling links to a place where you could get electronics for cheap and charging people over $300. However, he was misleading the people into thinking that they were getting some deal that no one else knew about and we're getting a laptop for $300. that's an ebay scam related to matrix sites, because he was really selling the link to a matrix site.

Now, if you're just going to come to here to disagree about everything, then don't waste everyone's time. If you disagree with WD on this, then does that mean that you support people that scam others? and I'm not talking about matrix scam either.

I post because watchdog has said it himself that he wants debate and to let both sides to be able to be told. So that being said, since I am opposed to what you think and you are opposed to what I think, what's the problem?

Look, I know who you are. Just make sure you pick the right battles to get involved with here, or you will lose respect. I thought that you were reforming your behavior from when I last banned you, but when you interrupt threads in this way I begin to wonder if you are returning to your old ways.

this post was in the general discussion forum. most sites have a general discussion forum that doesn't relate to matrix sites. You are about the only one that would think he was talking about matrix sites. Although, alot more scamming was going on when we weren't reporting the ebay auctions...

OK you really need to check your facts. I thought you off all the people here would check out facts before jumping to a conclusion.

First off, On Scouts Honor you have never banned me, I am NOT, Let me repeat I am NOT the user or identity Matrixfriendly. I have not ever nor will I ever go under the alias "matrixfriendly". Second my alias on almost anything is sigx97 (not sigz97).

SO no you don't know who I am. The only way I could be intterupting the thread is because I had to answer the questions that were asked of me and explain myself.
