Hi Folks,  
   
  One of my other lists is the Takahashi List.  It's a list for a particular 
brand of high-end astronomical telescopes.  This evening one of our members 
reported a new phishing scam on eBay.  
   
  He'd seen a very, very nice Tak scope advertised on a 24 hour auction with a 
ridiculously low buy-it-now price.  He responded to the ad (I guess using an 
email address in the ad) and found the "seller" responded at lightning speed 
with payment information.  He then contacted the real individual listed in the 
ad as the seller and learned it was not the real individual's ad.  EBay pulled 
the ad.    
   
  Once again, we see that if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't true.  
  
   
  Best regards to all,
  Steve
