I remembered the first time I received a fake ebay message like Frank Cox
By the way has anyone won the Canadian lottery lately?
Well, guess what, I just did! It's amazing and here's the best part I

got, but I figured it out right off, too smart for em, those cons will NEVER
get me!
didn't even play it! Now all I have to do is send in $2500 to handle to the
lotter tax and the processing fee and I get a million bucks!!! Wow! Hey, I
gotta go send off my money, besides the workers are here to spray a
waterproof roof coating on my trailer for only $700 bucks...all of my
elderly neighbors are getting it done too. This would normally cost us
$2500 or more... per mobile! Glad these boys just happened to be in the
area and made us this great deal on the supplies they had left over from the
first job, what a savings.
$5800, it's a one owner from an estate sale and it's in showroom condition.
I get free shipping too. The owner inherited it from his father and he has
too many cars. He is in Europe and the car is in California, so I am wiring
him the money and he'll setup the shipping for free...so lots to do, really
must run now. Man this is sure my lucky day!

Most of those Phishing sites are very well done clones of Ebay.
Why the government doesn't go after these jokers I don't know.
If you want to get involved in crime make sure you steal credit card
numbers as the cops never seem to pursue them. I had my card number
stolen from a transaction at Tractor supply years ago and everyone knew
it. The cops never were interested in pursuing it even though my card
had over 10K worth of merchandise charged to it before it was shut down.
After finding out where the crime originated, the credit card company
simply stopped pursuing it and wrote off the 10K as a loss.
I got a Ebay phishing email last week and just clicked the link and the
site is still up and running.
This kind of crap brings new meaning to "America - the land of opportunity".
