Thrown off of eBay for auction fraud, it didn’t take Austin long to set up his own internet auction site where he continues to offer fakes and otherwise conduct fraudulent business. This new internet auction site is called vBid me: http://www.vbid.me/
At the same time, Austin launched a new forum called vBay.me: http://www.vbay.me/
The gist behind this new forum by Austin is to attack eBay and others currently on eBay who wouldn’t play his games or let him get away with his fraudulent activity on eBay. He writes there,
“My name is Mark Austin and I own vBay.me. I started these forums because of my total dislike for many aspects of eBay. I actually was about to sue them in England but decided to do something more community spirited and positive. I decided to launch this forum and a sister auction site vBid.me”
“Community spirited and positive?” There isn’t a bone in Austin’s body which gives a damn about anyone other than himself, and there are no limits to what this sociopath will do to get what he wants.
Under both of his new sites he continues to use his old eBay ID, which is snr_sword.
On his new internet auction site, Austin declares vBid me to be “the champion of eBay alternatives” yet he is the ONLY seller! Moreover, his feedback by other “buyers” is totally contrived and made up by Austin himself. This trick of impersonation is a common one employed by Austin in the past. Austin regularly made up other personalities to engage in “discussions” with himself on his various past forums and he used various false ID’s on other internet auction sites. This is a common modus operandi for Austin, even though he has been caught red handed engaging in this activity on many occasions.
When eBay completed their fraud investigation of Mark Andrew Austin under the eBay ID snr_sword, there were four other bogus eBay ID’s which eBay directly traced to Austin, namely, chernobylpowerstation, jackdanielsforpresident, stevebeverlypt and travlurs. .All of these eBay ID’s have been permanently expunged by eBay for fraud. All of these eBay ID’s used fake names, addresses and telephone numbers to initiate the eBay registration. Anyone with their own eBay ID can check the status of each of these eBay ID’s used by Austin and the same message will appear: “No longer a registered user.”
So, what is Mark to do? Simple, start an internet auction site himself and engage in fraud all over again.
The internet auction site vBid me is a scam and a total fraud being operated by the wanted criminal, Mark Andrew Austin. Avoid this new internet auction site and you won’t be feeding this monster, the Englishman known as Mark Andrew Austin.
