Humorous Ebay scams

[Walt_M.]

I just found this on the Carpe TDM site and have to share, it had me in tears! http://www.fluke-motorsport.co.uk/temp/scammers.html (ftp://http://www.fluke-motorsport.co.uk/temp/scammers.html)
I can't get this link to work but it is worth typing in for a search.

man , that had me rolling in the floor!!!!

come to think of it, i have had a few letters from buyers that are a bit similar. bad spelling, poor sentence structure, use of wrong terms for simple events,,,  and i am not speaking of anyone in the forum .
       i never responded to those letters due to the failure to read the item listings, i always state 'no shipments to import/export shipping centers" yet they always ask right in first letter .  guess the scam is more widepsread than we all thought

I got "scammed" by a web store while buying a lamp at Christmas last year.

After 6 months I came up with this strategy. I have been listing their webstore as a fraud on craigslist for sale. Different craigslist every week.
? ? ? Google picks these up. ? ? ? Then I sent them the Google reference using their "contact us" link i wrote? "Google, worldwidestore fraud"
That got them phoning back and allowed me to NOT RETURN THEIR CALLS ;D ;D 8)Then I began running this link

My wife, Lori, got an email tonight that she would mail the check Tuesday morning. She asked Lori to "stop beating up on her"

I don't know if the check is coming, but I have several offers from people with ideas for the "gig"
I feel less helpless ;)coil
