Good job guys!
And thank you very much. I finally received my $950 back and I'm sure that the person who scammed me will never be able to do that again. I think my attitudes towards Romania and all that "scam" countries will change.
I appreciate your help.
And I will definitely fund you account with some amount, I hope that'd help.

I'm impressed with your instant response from a client. Then again I'm also impressed how you and your client both signed up for AW today.

Please contact davidx2s for more additional information. This is not a scam. Off course, donations are encouraged, but we work for the community, not for money.
I've sent the e-mails to our members, that is why many responses you will see here might be from people registered today.
Feel free to contact me directly with any questions.

What sort of authoritative powers does your volunteers have where you can go after these scammers and force them to make restitution to their victims?
I mean getting a $950.00 refund for someone is pretty darn impressive. Most of the time once a person has been scammed they no longer are able to make contact with the scammer and are ignored by them, the victim’s e-mails simple are not answered yet you are able to make contact and persuade a thief To relinquish his or her ill-gained bootie.
What type of volunteer network have YOU been able to establish? How does it work?
“Inquiring minds” want to know how you are able to ascertain this sort of cooperation from crooks, thieves and organized crime syndicates that run out of control in countries like; Romania,Ukraine, Russia, Moldova and other former USSR countries?
Please give us more information.

Escrow companies can be scammed too... One group of scammers set up their own escrow company. You sent the escrow company money by check or money order and then they told you all they were doing to get you your stuff. When all was said and done you lost your money and there was just an extra step in the process.
I'm sure most of you have many concerns about our activity and we are working as hard as possible to proove people our existence. We are located in Ukraine and believe me, not everyone is a crook here!
I personally know many groups in romania, russia, estonia and ukraine "working" on different auctions. The best for them is ebay and ubid.
I know many scam sites like fake escrow or shipping company. For example, www.wo-post.com, www.gold-escrow.com, www.w-e-mail.com It is only 3 of those used. I have a list of 13 that will be listed on our web site soon. Some of them are already disabled. We work hard to make this fake sites disapear.
Of course, scammer does not tell you where to find him and he doesn't leave any contact info. But in 85% of the cases, you know the name of the person receiving money from you or account number, or smth like that. In most of the cases, this is not a fake ID, this is real people. And we can find them using our contacts.
Our country government embassies receives many complaints about the auction fraud and this can be used again the scammer. Remember, you money does not disappear, they go to someone's pocket and it is possible to get them back.
As for donations, you need to contact me directly to discuss this. We are not registered in US, sorry. If you have an egold account, you can make a donation to the egold account number 495559.

Can't AW just remove this entire thread? This is such an obvious scam that I can't believe that they allow it to continue.

Anybody have this person's e-mail address? I would report them to their ISP for pulling an internet fraud scam using their services. I would also report this person here:
