£1 ‘FINE’ FOR EBAY CONMAN

ABOVE: A fraudster who duped eBay customers out of more than £100,000 has been ordered to pay back £1
6th February 2010

By Daily Star Reporter

A WEB fraudster who duped eBay customers out of more than £100,000 has been ordered to pay back £1.


Phillip Shortman, 22, nicknamed “eBay boy”, led a luxury life selling non- existent goods on the auction site.


He took holidays in New York, hired limos and bought designer clothes.


Dozens of his customers demanded money back after he was arrested. But a court heard Shortman, of Cwmbran, south Wales, had spent all the proceeds.


He is currently serving 30 months for 16 frauds.


He was facing a £7,000 confiscation order but prosecutor John Warren told Newport Crown Court: “Shortman has no assets.”


Judge David Morris ordered him to pay a nominal £1.
