Local man charged in eBay deception

AUSTINTOWN -- A Frostwood Drive man was arrested by police after he was accused of selling Rolex watches he didn't have on the Internet auction site eBay.
Jason Yuschak, 22, is charged with two felony counts of theft by deception.
Police said in late December they received a call from a New York man who had sent Yuschak a $2,700 check at a New Middletown address for a Rolex watch advertised on eBay. The check was later cashed at a township credit union. The man said he never received the Rolex.
Police Det. Sgt. Frank Tomasino said he later found that another man in North Carolina had sent Yuschak a check for $4,350 for a Rolex he never received. Yuschak was on federal probation for trafficking in cocaine, Tomasino said.
He said Friday he contacted Communications Corrections Association and spoke to Yuschak's parole officer, who then called Yuschak. Tomasino and a U.S. marshal then arrested Yuschak at CCA.
Tomasino said police searched a van driven by Yuschak and found a letter from U.S. Postal Service inspectors asking why a Dublin, Ohio, man had not received a $2,770 Rolex watch he had purchased through eBay. Yuschak also told police that he had sold $700 in car parts on eBay that he did not have, Tomasino said.
