    Getmedics.com

    This auction looks like it might have been created by that guy Kevin Gajjar. It bears more than a passing resemblance in style to this one.

    The reason I posted it is because the site being sold made me laugh. The owner seems to be using some project/bidding script for "projects" that are ailments! For example, one poor blighter has little blisters and a budget of $50 - $500. Weird concept.

    I fancy my hand at brain surgery so if a suitable patient pops up, I'm going to have a bid!

    That site is just so wrong on sooooooo many levels.

    It's obviously the same guy... He reuses the same claims and spelling errors in both listings.

    On another note, why display a trust rating for someone who is banned? http://flippa.com/users/370004/trust-breakdown

    I'll send Flippa a note so they can ban him again. What a joke!

    If I were going to scam people on online, and I had the most unique name on the Internet, I probably wouldn't use my real name. I'm just saying. http://www.google.com/search?q=kevin+gajjar

    Well, many scammers do not realize they are scamming people. They justify it in their heads. It is easy, in pursuit of the almighty dollar, to make excuses for one's-self or to make jusitifcations, or even to convince yourself what you are saying/selling is true. I encounter "scammers" all the time and I believe that most of them sincerely are convinced they are doing nothing wrong.

    It is much like the person who pirates music -- it's easy to justify... "Well, it cost them nothing to make this MP3" or "I wasn't going to buy it any way" or "I could just record it off the radio, right?". When we want to clear our ourselves of guilt it is easy to do so. We all do it from time-to-time. Mr. Gajjar probably has no problem using his *real* name because he feels he is doing nothing wrong.

    He seems India based. Then I found he seems to have a Delaware registered company in his name.

    He could be in India and have a U.S. corporation. It looks like the address used by his business is basically a mail drop, because there are a number of other unrelated companies with the same address. It is pretty easy to set up a corporation and use a registered agent as the official address, and Delaware is a very popular option for this sort of practice in America.

    He is again banned from Flippa. The poor guy. Hopefully he will get things together and get on the right track. This is too bad.

    The poor guy? He is trying to rip people off and trick Flippa into accepting his listings.

    I am a little curious about what circumstances led him to his current situation, but I don't really feel sorry for him. If he wasn't providing the same false stats over and over again in an attempt to scam potential buyers, he wouldn't have a problem.
