[ARC5] Watch Your Back

[Don Davis]

Dave:

This is a common scam.  These are always scams.  After bidding for an 
SX88 on ebay a guy wrote me offering a mint unit for $500.00.  I played 
him like a cheap violin.  I convinced him he had to refer to me as "Mr. 
Big Dick", and I insisted that he furnish me a lengthly history (he was 
very creative) which I quizzed him on a dozen times.  He sent me stolen 
ebay pix of another ebay Rx, and I had him send me a photo of himself 
(to verify that he was really in London) holding a copy of the London 
Times in one hand and a hand written sign in the other saying "I like 
Mr. Big Dick."  I kept upping my demands and he eventually went away. 
There is a story on the web of a guy being scammed by a Nigerian, and 
had the scammer hand carve (out of wood) and ship him a replica of a 
computer keyboard to demonstrate his sincerity!  Have fun but be 
careful - these guys are criminals.
