Another eBay seller caught selling misappropriated goods. The scam was being run by Thong Quoc Tran, 30 of Placentia, CA and involved his having allegedly filing more than 1,000 phony warranty claims on Cisco routers. According to the affidavit, Tran would obtain the serial numbers of routers legally purchased from Cisco by companies around the country. Tran would then buy warranties on those routers, claim they were broken, get Cisco to send him replacement parts to repair them and then resell the replacement parts sent by Cisco at a discount on eBay.
