e-bay - paypal scam - 5/28/2004 7:13:30 PM    Maine Digger   Posts: 823 Joined: 2/4/2004 From: Augusta, Maine Status: offline Hi all, this one is unbelievable! I received an e-mail from ....this morning asking if I would share my verified paypal account so they could make transactions in the US from Italy. They stated they were unable to set up a verified account and that they sell electronics, digital cameras etc., and if I / anyone was willing to accept payments into my paypal account on their behalf, then forward the $ from my verified (read BANK) account they would reward me with 8% of every sale. Wow! what an enducement! For the promise of 8% commissions, I only have to give them the necessary information to clean out my bank account I reported this back to paypal, I just hope some unsuspecting soul doesn't get taken in by this! < Message edited by Maine Digger -- 5/28/2004 7:35:19 PM > _____________________________ Norm Miller Post #: 1

I love the emails in which the syntax is all wrong and it's obviously some dirtbag doing it. Sure these are dangerous people, who don't even have the nuts to make their money in the light of day. Bring it on, this is one ex-marine officer who doesn't sweat the "little" things. Godless heathens need to be dealt with, someone should tell that to the hippies running congress right now.

Im getting very very sick of ebay due to thier fee's alone,and having paypal is very risky,with all the technology in the computer world today and the amount of revenue that ebay makes they should beable to come up with a non-flawed way of money transactions so you dont get scre#ed.... another thing is with coins!,not only will people try to buy the coin outright or email you via the ebay message system and tell you that its this grade and not what you have stated just to get the coin for a cheap price... a well known and iffy board is "Coll uni- i cant say the full name of the site due to possible scamers,but the few out there who know what site im talking about is",seriously watch out!,those jerks are just that "JERKS",they gang up on you if you have a question and act like total school kids about thier collectables,also alot of scammers on there to!... but thought id throw my thoughts on this subject since alot of us are very very sick and tired of worrying if were gonna get ripped or are idenitys taken.... good subject!...... _____________________________ It's time for another TEA PARTY!!!!
