Amiga "fishing" on ebay

[Ral-Clan]

If you want to have fun you can really lead these guys on.  They don't know a lick about the Amiga, so you can ask them if the Blizzard PPC accelerator (or whatever) has the optional goldfish glued to it, becuase if it does you will pay more.  They will usually respond enthusiastically saying YES it does!  Also, since they don't keep track of all their scams, you can change the product name in every e-mail and they will always respond with they name of the product exactly how you changed it (even if you change it from a PPC accelerator to running shoes).

McVenco made an excellent resume, if you want to have fun with theses guys use their mail, and post the answer to make us laught  :lol:

@ Jose
Yep, to the verified address.
So I may still be OK, although I phoned the RM dispatch centre in the guys home town and alerted them to the fraud and asked them to return the parcel to the return address on the box if they catch it.
(Legally this is a bit of a sticky wicket apparently)
They were quite helpful and promised to publicise it too their drivers, but I'm not holding out too much hope for it.

OMG, and it's one of those with the nice ("mechanical") keyboard... Damn!!! I've been looking for one of those for ages! This one is going to sell for way more than $100, that's for sure... I predict $250 at least.

I wish I had enough money to bid on his one... argh  :boohoo:
