Well there are two other scams/problems I have heard of

1) Some guys wandering out of the warehouse with Star Destroyers I think it as, and reselling them, but I can’t find any original info on that anymore, was about a year or so ago. Employees somehow getting a bunch of stock out of the LEGO warehouses

2) A scam that I know nailed/caught a few people, basically someone has access to full credit card/billing address information for a HUGE NUMBER of credit cards. They then sell stuff like 10030 on eBay for way below market price. Then buy it from shop@home, pay shop@home with a stolen credit card. Put in your shipping address. AND MAN you are now in pocession of stolen goods, AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU RIPPED THE REAL PERSON OFF!!

(...) Wow, this is really interesting. Many AFOLs could have these resold sets at home, especially if they were resold through eBay. Has there ever been a Lego-related crime on such scale? I don't recall ever seeing one. -Shiri (18 years ago, 9-Jul-06, to lugnet.general, FTX)
