I didn't think this thread be relevant in the main board,so it's here now.
I've recently been scouring ebay for a laptop and want to warn you people about the shady bastards on it.I have been bidding for the same model of laptop for a while now,but the fuckers all just push it out of my price range.
So,i get this e-mail today :
Dear auctioneer,
I apologize for dearing to wate a bit of your
precious time but I have noticed that you want to buy a
NEW Compaq Presario 2715 1.13Ghz/30Gig/ Latop Item # 2024368533
and I want to inform you that we
have that kind of product that you are bidding for and
we want to sell it so that we can refurnish our
monastery.I am a priest at a monastery for
nuns in Europe,Transilvania and the product that we
have was donnated by an English Company.
We cannot bid for this product at a public auction
because we are afraid of possible frauds that might
happen on the bidding site EBAY and we cannot
afford such a loss.We have noticed that the price of
this product has increased to a larger sum of money
but we thought we could sell it for
$850.We think it is an acceptable price and we can
receive the money in two instalments within 2 weeks.
This is what the Apple Macintosh iMac looks like:

perhaps with your help we shall have the monastery
refurnished for these honest nuns.
May God bless you and your family,
