Rule #1 - never believe anything.

Rule #2 - if it seems air-tight believable, refer to rule #1.

In flawless legalese, the message warns recipients that they recently sent an unsolicited fax to the sender's office.

And if you don't have a fax machine or fax capabilities, like (say) me, you laugh at the scam, delete the e-mail, and go about your merry way, never suspecting that some goober would write 1,300 words about it.

Further, those stupid enough to open an EXE attachment deserves the virus they will surely get.

eBay and PayPal Phisher's are getting very clever with their scams. I bought a old bottle on Sunday and later had a "Second Chance Offer" asking me to sell them the bottle because it had sentimental value to them. I thought , why didn't they buy it on the auction as I bought it for $10 and there had been several of these bottles sold.

I should have forwarded to spoof@ebay.com but deleted it instead...

Follow up to my post #8. I dug that message out of the trash file and sent it to spoof@ebay.com and got back the usual canned reply and then the followup...The email you reported was not sent by eBay. We have reported this email to the appropriate authorities.

Just Dam! This thing was so well formated that the average ebay buyer would click on it...
