Re: [AMC-List] various scams

["Ross Guistino" <rossg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Eddie, for alerting us to these nuisances.  I'd like to throw in my
2 cents which has helped me out tremendously.  I found a nice little utility
that I installed in my browser which tells me exactly which site I'm on.  As
noted below, you may think you are clicking on an eBay link, but in reality
you're redirected to some bogus site that looks exactly like eBay.  The
utility I have actually can tell which site you are on, and if you don't see
eBay in the information box, then DON'T continue!  I recommend it highly.
If you wish to check it out, here is the website:

AMC Content:  Several months ago, I brought Greta into my mechanic's to
replace the cracked head.  Upon replacing that, he found that the exhaust
manifold was so warped that he couldn't even shave it to fit.  So I got
another one--both the head and manifold came from that great guy in
Salinas--Joe Fulton--and upon replacing it, discovered that the radiator
really wasn't well.  So I had the rad recored.  I have yet to get the car
back but she's getting close.  I love old cars.

Many of you are aware of the different types of scams on internet, this is
one of several you see that 'originates' from ebay. There are a mess of them
out there like the "$20 Chase Survey" or "Laredo National Bank" or
"put-any-credit-union name here" or "update your account" and so forth. All
of them are intended for you to click on a link, which is anywhere from
Nigeria, Britian, Romania, who knows, but it is a attepmt to steal your
info, whether bank account, passwords, log in, user ID all of it.

Thwe one below here won't have the official ebay headers and banners. But
they sometimes show up, sometimes not, on the email the scammers send you. 
Some are threatening like "you cashed my chevk where is my item???" or "I'm
going to turn you into ebay!" or as in the one below, tells you they have
not gotten your paypal payment, like I would want a Chevy.

On this one I simply looked at the item number which don't exist. So I
didn't bother to even look up the 'seller' and simply forwarded whole mess
to spoof@xxxxxxxx and spoof@xxxxxxxxxx since paypal was mentioned, they will
then track it and shut it down on the servers end.

But you gotta watch some of this stuff, as the scammers are really good and
sneaky!
