can you say "English classes?"

what the hell

I've noticed they have started using the eBay mail system sometimes. Usually they will send a question then when you reply they have your email address. The easiest way to avoid that is to go to "My eBay" page to respond to questions and check the "do not reveal my email" box. Scammers are a lot like Spammers, they send out a lot of email in hopes that they will find one easy to fool person.

Man, I just had one of these yesterday in my Yahoo email that didn't make any sense. Seemed like they used an online translator to ask me some kind of question, but I couldn't understand it, so I just clicked "spam".

if I was gonna go on a crazy maniac killing spree it would be people who make junkemail and stuff.. cuzz man.... I just get all evil feeling and yeah... gotta kill em all... ok sorry.

Does this one sound familiar?

I had a guy try to scam me out of the ViewSonic laptop I was selling on e-bay.
He wanted it sent to England ... which is where I'm originally from. I played along a little, and asked him where he lived and so forth ... would you believe that he's telling me he lives somewhere that I know like the back of my hand!!
Well, I kindly pointed out to him that his 'mailing address' was a pub, and that he didn't live in London at all ... he never tried to scam me again!

I like that! "Compliment of the season..." LOL

This was my reply to this douche.

Let me guess. You want to send me a check for $20,000usd and I will send the difference back to you. Right? Eh, eh? Then once you have your money back, the check you gave me will bounce like a tennis ball off a brick wall. Am I correct so far?

If you really want this car, I will only accept paypal. You will not take delivery of the car until the funds have been cleared by my bank. After the money appears in my account I will wait a minimum of 15 days before sending you the car. This should be enough time for my bank to work out any problems with your money transfer.

The price of the car will be $6,000usd. This price will not include shipping.

Regards,

Matt
