[AMC-List] Fw: TKO NOTICE: eBay Auction(s) Cancelled

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Aww, poor puddie tat fall down go boom. This was one of a whole series of 
those 'scammerfest' auctions I mentioned yesterday, I went and dropped $1.4 
million in bids on them. Like the Men's Club or Rick's Gentlemans Club here 
in Houston, my "credit limit" has been increased. With ebay I can bid up to 
$99 million now as I am rich man, bwahaha. Always good to have the valets 
park my American Motors vehicle out front of the strip club, btumakes it 
hard for me to escape out back door. But the notice below is something 
commonly sent out by ebay when you bid on a fraud auction, in this case, 
most, if not all of those I mentioned in the scammerfest post yesterday.

That possibly had to be one of the biggest dumbazz scammers out there, 
putting up 'test' auctions to see if he had actually comprimised (ie: 
STOLEN) other ebayers user ID and passwords! "This is a test auction, do not 
bid" was the text. So I bid and bid again. Not that I had the money to back 
it up, it is more like AMC Enron here. But knowing ebay had already been 
alerted to these scam auctions, I figured what the hell, it was better than 
looking at a photo of Britney Spears getting out of a limo anyhows.

There is some good advise from ebay below ya'll might want to read. It was 
not too long ago you know that not one, but FOUR real AMCers, here and on 
the forum.net fell for that Buy It Now AMX for $4500, so the scammer made 
$18K in one day. Paypallled/electronically transferred the funds thinking 
they were getting best damned deal out there. Thet got deal all right, so 
read the notice below on how to protect one's self as this not only applies 
to ebay, but all sorts of things from Amazon, Wachovia Bank, Chase Bank 
giving you a $20 reward, credit union emails, you name it, scammers need 
Christmas money too..ho ho ho...
