I don't know if any others of you out there have been hit with this but in the last week I have suddenly received 4-5 messages from individuals using the ebay system for contacting other members.
They are virtually identical. They all state they saw me bid on other similar Canon items but are so "fed up" with scammers from Indonesia they want to sell the item direct. They will set up a one bidder auction on ebay in which I would be the only legitimate bidder. I always answer "Sure, I'm interested" but ask for their phone number for a short chat and their mailing address (street number, not PO Box). Everyone answers back with the same reply that they are on a "business" trip in Europe and I should use some escrow service or contact them using e-mail. When I tell them to contact me after they "return" from their trip and that they never answered my question about their phone number and address, I have yet to receive a followup message. Now the spammers create junk mail, not just jam up the auction site. John __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
