Paybacks Ordered In Beanie Baby Hoax

POSTED: 12:38 p.m. EDT October 20, 2003

A Tarentum man who allegedly bilked more than $18,000 from people using the Internet must refund his victims' money, but he won't go to jail.

Federal prosecutors say Jeffrey Diller claimed to be selling Beanie Babies and Rolex watches on auction sites, but he never sent the promised goods to the buyers.

Diller, 34, will spend six months on house arrest and serve five years of probation.
