Just received yet another solicitation from an eBay scammer. His/her email was entitled, "eBay Costumer Support." Concerned that my costumes may warrant some support (my wife often mentions this to me), I opened the email and found:

    image It's Christmas shopping time and the $$$'s getting tight at the home of the scammers, thus, these fraudulant emails, escalating to higher plateaus I might add. "It's beginning to look alot like Christmas, evvvvvvvvvvery where you goooooooooo!" Desperate times call for drastic measures, even for the scammers. In addition, make sure you're packing your Glock, S&W or Colt, whichever one prefers, for this shopping season for is going to be horrible at the malls. Protect yourself and loved ones!

    The thing that really bothers me is that the senders email is something like "ebay@ebay.com" so it looks authentic!

    I mentioned in another thread, it is fun to fill in the blanks with "unkind" remarks. Feels good to have the last laugh.
