Has anyone sold anything on eBay recently...?
« on: February 18, 2006, 11:43:03 pm »
 

I listed a laptop (HP, P4) this afternoon, and within 12 hours I've received two Emails from deadbeats ("If you end this auction early, I will pay you half what you would get if you let other people bid against me!") and one Nigerian Scammer ("I'll send you a fraudulent certificate for $3800 if you send all your laptops to me in Nigeria!").

Grrr....  What is WRONG with people these days?!?  Do they assume we're ALL stupid, or are they just preying on the unlucky 5% who really are!?!

*sigh*

Scams are a numbers game.  They call their victims fish for a reason.
