The latest e-mail Scam

[D'Ecosse]

Just got this scam e-mail
New twist on an old ploy - However they don't realize that I belong to a rival organization - Order of Literary Development For Arts (OLD FArts)

Note the key element I highlighted in red. I especially like the following sentence that stresses it will make them very glad! I'll bet it would!

Man, I just don't even bother with opening emails that look fishy. Too many viruses out there to wreck havoc!

I agree. I just got a virus the other day by accident and it defeated our virus protection(Mcafee) and killed my computer. Couldn't do anything with it at all. Had to end up getting a brand new.

Is this listing a fraud?? Its very strange. Also check out the sellers feedback as far as the items he's sold. Fetish lingerie??? Almost sounds like the same kind of scam as D'Ecosse mentioned. Its too bad because I was really looking for that style lift and cant find it anywhere.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/COMM...ewItemQQcategoryZ63699QQitemZ4569908734QQrdZ1
