Year 12 Student Gets Nabbed For eBay Banking Swindle

A man who used the website eBay to dishonestly obtain nearly $40,000 has been sentenced to three years in jail by a Brisbane District Court Judge.

The court heard when he was in year 12, set up eBay and bank accounts in false names, then put electronic equipment up for sale on the website, but did not deliver the goods.

The offences could have gone undetected if he had not tried to withdraw money, after Suncorp bank mistakenly transferred $2 million into one of his accounts.
