What is this person thinking?

Hmmm, I sent an e-mail to one asking if they had any G5 iBooks in stock, or were expecting any. Wonder if I'll get a response.... :D

People, you have got to post the details of the auctions along with the links! Every eBay link I have clicked on in this thread has come up with an invalid item page. Maybe it's just that I'm too late, but still, I'd like to see what the fuss is about!

Nice to know they don't last long and EBay is watching.
 
EBay's not watching, it's the people themselves pulling the auction off of the website once they have someone contact them about it.
 
Dear Mr. Valen,

THIS IS NOT AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE

Thank you for your submission of information via the FBI.Gov Web site._ Inasmuch as the FBI has recently received numerous reports concerning this fraud, there is no need to forward any such additional emails to the FBI._ Our newly created Cyber Division is aware of this eBay scam and is addressing the matter._ Please advise any friends, family or co-workers of this status.

Again, thank you for taking the time to forward this report to us.

For your information, the Internet Tip Line (ITL) was created on 9/11/01, in response to the terrorist attacks upon America._ We quickly established a mechanism for the public to submit information to the FBI via the Internet, and we received our first tip at 10:31 AM that first day._ Director Mueller has since made the ITL a permanent part of FBI operations, and we have thus far received over 600,000 tips from around the globe, from which thousands of leads have been sent to FBI Field and Legal Attaché Offices for action.

Initially, almost 100% of the tips received were related to the terrorist attacks; however, now approximately 45% of all tips received are related to almost every other FBI criminal program, e.g., drug trafficking, organized crime, money laundering, pyramid schemes, child pornography, fugitives, bank robbery.

Our operation is completely automated and paperless._ Submitted tips are received immediately, reviewed within minutes and prioritized by trained Professional Support personnel, and Agents set action leads within the hour, as appropriate.

I encourage you to share this information with your family, friends, and co-workers, and encourage them to not hesitate to submit information they may deem of interest to the FBI.

Sincerely,

David N. Rushing/mdw
Supervisory Special Agent
FBI Headquarters
Washington, D.C.

The FBI does not maintain an email address to submit information or attachments to directly; therefore, please do not reply directly to this message via your email client._ The FBI maintains an automated system that is designed to track all information received to ensure that all tips are addressed in a timely and efficient manner._ Therefore, please visit the FBI.GOV Web site again should you have occasion to submit additional information._ We WILL NOT open or respond to “reply” email.

paying per creditcard?
Hmmmmmmmmmm, he won't get the money at once, doesn't he? Is there any way to cancle the payment afterwards?
 
Usually credit cards have buyer protection services to protect people who's cards have been stolen and used.

In a case like this, I'm not sure they'd protect somebody from themself if they were dumb enough to buy into this scam ;)
 
Heh. "Send the money order to..." ... how about if someone emailed him that he/she was in Atlanta so he / she could come and pick up the G5 ? :D
 
Jesus tapdancing Christ! Can't these people at least learn to use Photoshop and grab a pic from the QT VR and stick it in a picture of their room?
