South Florida eBay scammer busted

A Brazilian businessman, Nilton Rossoni, 50, with multiple aliases who had lived in Sunny Isles Beach and Fort Lauderdale, was sentenced to 5 ½ years in federal prison for running one of the biggest eBay scams in history.


He was convicted in October of hauling in $717,000 from more than 5,500 eBay buyers, by creating at least 260 different auction accounts, and using dozens of e-mail addresses with Yahoo, Google and AOL, as well as nearly 60 private postal boxes.

Rossoni planned and directed the intricate online retail scheme with the help of his son, Nilton Joel Rossoni, 28, according to an indictment. The younger Rossoni  graduated with a business administration degree from the University of Miami in 2007. He is believed to be on the lam in his native Brazil.
