NEWS Anthony L. McEnroe is claimed to have taken thousands of dollars from traders who bid for gold and silver coins on eBay but never received their orders. McEnroe's business is said to have operated under the name of bullionone@autionsmamanger.com. According to US wires, eBay has contacted the law enforcement authorities over the incident. The news comes on the day silicon.com launches its Fighting Fraud campaign, which calls for the creation of an independent body that victims of cybercrime can report to in confidence.
