Dear List;
I was surprised to read that ebay may be doing something about crime....
read on!
This came from the ebay information page.
Hi everyone... I'm Mike Rou, Senior Manager, Global Law Enforcement
Operations. My team works with law enforcement agencies around the world
to pursue, apprehend, and prosecute fraudsters who may use eBay or
PayPal to commit their crimes. Due to the legal nature of the work my
team does, our efforts to fight these crimes often need to stay behind
the scenes. Here are some interesting facts for 2006:

                      # We contributed to 549 arrests since January
                        2006, resulting in 351 prison years for the
                        convicted criminals involved
                      # We disrupted a major Tanzanian theft ring
                        responsible for stealing $6MM in Hewlett Packard
                        servers
                      # We facilitated the first case between the
                        Chinese Immigration and Customs Enforcement and
                        China police which involved $840,000 in
                        counterfeit DVDs
                      # We trained around 200 Romanian police, judges
                        and prosecutors on how to investigate and
                        prosecute cyber criminals
