Hi Tom and All
There is another scam on the go with ebay, UPS and
Western Union. It goes like you bid on something on
eBay, someone else contacts you and offers to sell the
article at whatever price you bid. You need deposit
the money with Western Union and this person will send
the goods via UPS. The notice comes from UPS, you pays
your money and thats the last you'll hear.
Seems the UPS addresses are fraud.
A friend got burned.
No doubt he'll not be the only one.
Have a nice winter
Oaul
