I replied to two of the fake second chance offers with a huge picture (more than 1000 kb)
One reponded;
The total price including shipping and handling is US $1,051.00.
Please notify your full contact details (name,address) for the shipping and payment arrangements.
For the payment, i shall contact eBay, so they can advise me for the proper method of payment in this situation.
As soon as i shall receive the required information along with your clear intent in buying the item you shall receive an invoice for the payment from eBay, and we can complete the transaction.
Best regards!
The other responded:
I've sent you this second chance offer because the winner of my auction didn`t reply to my emails. There are lots of bidders that bid on the auction for fun and i hope you are serious and we can make a clear deal. Now for the start, i will explain you the steps for making this transaction happen. You can see that the price is your last bid on eBay. So, if you are really interested, all you have to do is to send me exactly the following details:
eBay ID:
First name:
Last name:
Address:
City:
State:
Zip:
Total amount:
I need the details exactly like i have requested them, because i'll have to forward the details to eBay. Shortly, they will contact you with an invoice in order to complete the transaction! I am dealing only through eBay. Thanks
I copied this story from a religious web sight and emailed it to them:
When I was a boy, I used to get up at 5 AM to deliver newspapers. It was always pitch black outside. Sometimes it would be very cold, raining, or even snowing heavily.
I remember lying in my comfortable bed and telling God how much I dreaded going outside. I didnâ??t want to get wet. I didnâ??t want to be cold. Worse yet, I was afraid of the dark!
Yet God worked in my heart to help me see the situation differently. I began to say, â??Iâ??m not delivering these newspapers for my customers. Iâ??m doing it for Jesus. Heâ??s going to receive this paper.â?
Suddenly my attitude turned around. I would get started no matter what the time or weather! In my own childish way, I had stumbled on the secret of success in the Christian life, the key to fruitful service:
Whatever you are doing, do it as if you are doing it for the Lord.
In the sixth chapter of Ephesians, Paul tells us â??With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men...â? In Colossians 3:23, he says it again: â??Whatever you do, do your work heartily as for the Lord rather than for men...â?
In other words, it doesnâ??t matter if you are leading a corporation or mopping its floorsâ??you are called to serve God in and through everything you do.
Once you adopt this attitude, once you learn to focus on Whom you are serving instead of what you are doing, amazing changes will happen:
â?¢ The quality of your work will improve. After all, now you are not working for an earthly boss,but for your Father in heaven.
â?¢ You will be protected from discouragement. It does not matter whether or not youâ??ve been complimented or thanked for your workâ??because you already know how much He approves of you and loves you.
â?¢ You will grow in self-esteem. We all have a need to feel competent, important and worthy. God always rewards us for our service with a sense of satisfaction and belonging we will not find any other way.
â?¢ You will not be afraid to fail. In fact, when we serve God we cannot fail because true service is not something we do for God, but rather something God does through us.
In First Thessalonians 5:24, Paul says, â??Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.â? God assumes full responsibility for enabling us to carry out the work Heâ??s called us to do, whatever that may be!
This truth provides us with incredible comfort. It certainly is to me. Consider that In Touch Ministries is preaching the Gospel in more than 100 languages to millions of people around the world every day. If I thought for one moment that I had to accomplish this in my own strength, we would be in real trouble!
The truth is that you and I should never feel pressured to accomplish great things for Godâ??it is up to Him to accomplish great things through us!
Iâ??ll never forget the job I had during my seminary years. I mopped and swept the floor in a food shop. Parts of itâ??especially the area behind the meat counterâ??were a real mess. I didnâ??t like the working conditions, and for the first few days my heart was full of complaints.
Eventually I realized that complaining wasnâ??t going to help. I decided to approach the job just
as I had when I was a young paperboy. I decided I was sweeping for Jesus. One day I was sweeping near my boss when he turned to someone and said, â??Donâ??t get in Stanleyâ??s way. Heâ??ll sweep you right out of the store!â?
I may have been cleaning floors, but I was motivated, I was fulfilled, I was dedicated to doing a great job!
My friend, I challenge you to do everything as unto the Lord. When you clean your home, clean it as if Christ lived there. When you prepare a meal, imagine that the Lord is sitting at your table. When you serve a client or customer, behave as if that customer was Jesus. If you take this simple step, it will be one of the most rewarding changes of your life.
Maybe the religious email will inspire them.
