Why...would anyone...send...a CHECK...to KEVIN BURGE...?!!1

 

[sportscardtheory]

Maybe this will get him off eBay. This is theft and it's away from eBay's retarded policies, so Burge could be royally screwed if he's convicted. That would be awesome.

Why would anyone send a check in this day and age to anyone? To easy to steal from, your account and routing numbers are there for the taking. Maybe this, if true, will be the straw......

why send a check to any seller, but esp. to burge?

why not send the check w/sig conf so he could verify (along w/the signed back of the check) burge got it?

why not call the authorities already? usps postal inspector, along w/fbi net fraud crime units act fast

 

[Weatherwarrior]

Why doesn't the guy put a stop payment on the Check? That would be the fastest way to get his money back!

 

[Lancemountain]

Hope this guy follows through with this and gets the federales into this one.

Stop payment?

He has proof that it has already been cashed so unless he has a time machine, stopping payment will be difficult.

Sounds like douchy already fessed up and has or is in the process of refunding the OP from the other board. What a joke that douchburge is. He needs a curby.

I hate to say this, but when you try to be slick and avoid ebay fees you deserve to be left in the cold. Not saying he deserves to be robbed, but once you start playing with the rules you should get burnt. I really dont feel sorry for this guy, this could have been avoided by following the simple rules in place.

I think he won this at auction and payed with a check. I could be wrong.

No you are right, my point is I would bet captain scam artist offered him money off to pay in check. And someone agreed to save money.

 

[notjomommasclint]

why would the op call him "mr"? **** burge!

 

[SilverandBlack]

People still use checks?

 

[Pine Tar]

So I'm not saying what was done to the guy was right at all. But as of right now there is no proof that Kevin Burge actually cashed said check. If he did then of course he should be dealt with by the Authorities. I also know his reputation does precedes him. But until there 100% percent with any doubt proof, Kevin Burge maybe telling the truth. What also could have happened here is that he had someone else cash the check say at an currency exchange, using a fake ID stating that person was him. On the back of the check is a number used to identify who and where the check was cashed. You banks Fraud Dept. Should be able to help you, but you first need to file a police report in your town, or where you bank is located. Then they will follow up with the police in the town where the check was cashed. It can be a real pain trying to find who cashed this, but if and only that account is in fact Burge's then it should be easy for him to be charge with obvious fraud.

I shudder to think this person even sent a check to this man, but it may have been intercepted in the mail too, and then cashed by a whole other ring of thieves.

I believe that what he's referring to, is that you're not allowed to accept checks on ebay for most things.

Per ebay's rules:

Payment by personal check, cashier's check, bank-to-bank transfers, or money order isn't allowed for most eBay purchases.

Only things you are allowed to pay those methods anymore are Real Estate, Automotive, and Industrial Equipment categories (and Adult categories for some reason :? ).

Very strange. It's always the buyers who ask if they can pay via money order. And, when you mark an item as paid, it gives you the option to put in check or money order.
