Fake PR ebay auction

cashable · 06-25-2006, 08:41 PM

I was looking for text links for sale on ebay, you can find great deals from time to time. Of course, I always check PR to see if it is real. I found a PR8 link at a great price, but of course, it is a fake PR, with PR stolen from valueclick.com.

I reported it to ebay, any other steps I should take?

Reporting an infraction to ebay is like... well... you get the idea--it isn't very productive. I think that is the best you can do for now except for possibly contacting the registrar--although I'm not sure they will be able to do a whole lot.

If you feel brave, contact the seller and tell him/her about what you've found and that there are law forbidding fraudulent advertising and sales.

Question: how does one actually be able to get a fake PR?

Point domain1.com at domain2.com (where domain2 has a high PR, say 6).

That is the one I used. The seller now has several more auctions up, I have reported them all to ebay, but so far, they have all closed. Too bad, they would have been kicked off of NP in 5 minutes, guess that is why he is at eBay.
