Dear Banknote Collectors,
On Apr. 24, 2005, I paid the above mentioned gentleman US$275 via pay pal and sent to him some notes of mine worth US$550 bringing the total value paid by me to US$825.
He was supposed to send me the following:
1] EGYPT 50 pound 1945
2] EGYPT 100 pound 1945
3] EGYPT 50 PIASTRES 1914 VF
He never sent the items.
I contacted Paypal, they investigated my claim and Paypal decided in my favour but could only help me recover the amount paid through Paypal (US$ 275).
My problem is:
1] He has NO balance with Paypal now.
2] I have also sent him notes worth US$550
I have contacted all banknote dealers I know in Turkey to mediate but with no positive results.
If anyone has any other information about this thief, please send it in to update this post in order to protect other potential victims.
I appreciate your feedback.
Yours in hobby,
Ali

This individual (farbod) sells counterfeit items on ebay
Dear friends,
As a friendly notice and reminder, be aware that some sellers on ebay attempt to sell counterfeit collector items while misrepresenting them as genuine. Visit my store at eBay to view an item sold to me through ebay by a seller with id: (farbod). Do NOT buy it or any similar items

I'd like to bring your attention to a Fraudulent eBay seller and get your advice if you can help.
I was cheated by an ebay seller based in Haifa/Israel named Tarek Alnajjar with the eBay id of pharmatareq ( 221 )
Update: userid pharmatareq was effective from 20 Sep 2007 to 25 Jan 2010. This thief has since changed his ebay id, it is now godblessdora (Effective date: 25 Jan 2010)
He sold to me a catalogue and 112 coins of Palestine
I have sent him $1250 through pay pal
He sent by DHL an A4 envelope to the address of my son in Austria including few Russian Medical prescription !!!!!
I raised a claim at pay pal but as the order was out of eBay , they do not pay attention to it !!!!!
His name is and address as stated in receipt of DHL
Tarek Alnajar
Haifa Allenby 179 C,
Israel
(04-6987133 )
It was the first Transaction but as I could see at eBay he has 100% feedback from more than 200
Do you know him ?
Do you have any strong connection in that region or can you recommend a lawyer?
Any other advice?
The Order was an album of Palestine coins 56 coins Plus extra 56 coins
We received A4 Letter weight less 0.2Grams including ONLY Russian brochures for medical supplies in Israel
Such order Must weight More than 1500 Grams
Please Tell All Collectors about that and if you have any case , send to me to be published here ( AliMehilba [at] yahoo.com )
We have to fight such Thieves very strongly
