I feel like I actually saw a thread where they admitted this ... I'll see if I can find it again. In the meantime, please don't forget that if you are scammed by a vendor - even if there is no way for you to get your money back (in cases, for example, where you finalized early) - you need to use the "report this vendor" link on their profile to let SR know that you were scammed. This is the only way these scammers will ever get banned - by having their victims report the scam in hopes of preventing others from the same fate.
