The link goes to http://www.eboy4441.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.php?ShowNotice=1&co_partnerId=2&siteid=0&pageType=-1&errmsg=8&pa1=&i1=-1DATA=SabuKatVpl37b$$jbabuKatVpl37b2ol37b2oaabuKatVpl37b2oaszrQTGVnCTmsPv&a/20%&UsingSSL=0&bshowgif=0

You can tell how bogus it is. Just wanted to let people know just in case.

    Not really new, just a slight variation of the same tired old scam by a different scammer. Hard to believe, but people still fall for these.

    It's truly funny, no make that truly sad, that people in this day and age are so wrapped up in their own little world that they refuse to try and teach someone else the correct or accepted way of doing things.
