Do not purchase any high value items such as jewelry, coins, or collectables on eBay. Bad actors have been known to study the purchases and patterns of high value buyers, attract the buyers attention with items based on this open information, and create a fraudulent sale to garner said buyers address. This address is then targeted for home invasion as these bad actors calculate the buyers purchases and assign a value to the targeted home. The fraudulent seller is paid a fee based on the information provided to organized criminal gangs. eBay is desperately trying to stifle any reporting of this growing crime. another example of eBay putting commissions above the safety of your home and family. #eFraudhomeinvasionscam
