Odd-Ball Ebayer Stuck In London Wants My Help

Hey this happened to my dads customer also. See what happens is that their email is stolen so all the passwords are stolen through it. Here is what my dad did, you can ask them to call you collect to hear their voices or get a program to track the ip adress that it came from. When my dad did this it came from Nigeria not london then he knew it was a scammer.

Steve, I am stuck behind my desk right now, please send 100 Ike's to help me out.

I wonder what that guy was thinking. One ebay deal and he thinks he can ask you for money, that takes some cojones grandes to do that.

I got the exact same email from a friend of mine about a year ago. It's a scam.

Scammers operate on percentages; if only ONE of a HUNDRED e-mails results in a reply, with money, the scammer has won. My e-mail address - which I've used for over 16 years - has often been spoofed, as I receive all kinds of amazing offers from myself. My e-mail account has NEVER been hijacked. It's probably easier for a scammer to spoof (use another e-mail return address than his own) than it is to hijack.

And in spite of endless warnings, Internet n00bs are still out there. They'll believe anything, especially if it is a something-for-nothing scheme. Hence the % operations that are worth the time and effort to the scammers, most of whom are not from Nigeria but Poland and Ukraine and operate full-time to suck $ from Internet users.
