My mom, the woman who always calls me anytime she gets an email from paypal or ebay...one that is intended for phishing, and ones that aren't intended for phishing....the one woman who's super paranoid about it...

Just got listed as a seller on ebay and suddenly has 50 leather bags for sale!

She cancelled the auctions, and is talking about closing her account so she can start a new one, with a crap feedback of 0.

This guy, I dunno who he is, but I have his routing number. Is that helpful for anything. Considering what this guy did to my mom (or at least tried to do) I'm tempted to give it to the community here as a gift. I know maybe you can't do much with it, but MAYBE someone can!

That routing number isn't going to help you(fake info to open account) but should be sent to the proper authorities.

It isn't going to be in his name but they have the means of maybe tracking him. He prob does it on a large scale and they might be trying to track him down so any info would help. She should contact ebay and see what they think. Unless he just started they will know about him.

Lately they post lower end items so it brings less heat. On a large scale it brings in alot of money.

routing number has very little information... you can look it up here[=http//www.lyonsreg.com/freetrial/freetrialform.asp]here - thats pretty much the max amount of information you can get out of it.
