[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I get these emails very often after bidding on expensive photo items (and computer stuff too, especially Mac Powerbooks for some reason). This started about 2 months ago - they always want a Western Union moneygram. Ask them if they accept Escrow payments, that will shut them up! The charity home angle is a new one for me though ;-) I just forward them to eBay, they like to know about that kind of stuff. I wondered if the ebay ids are legit or not anyway. - - marc On Tuesday, October 14, 2003, at 06:25 AM, Karen Nakamura wrote: > > There seems to be a new ebay fraud going around.
