[Test-Equipment] New eBay phishing scam (FW: SecondChance Of

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Gentlemen, 	
	
Let me remind you that EBAY is not a topic for this list - 	
	
Posting here what you are selling there, posting a link to it and so forth, all
qualify for removal from this list. So let's just do not go there, thank you.	
	
Re the Postmaster General. Forget it. I have in my possession a letter from that
office. I reported mail fraud several years ago. What was I told? Simply this,
"If the party does not have a prior conviction, our office is not interested in
investigating it."	
	
So as some astute sage once said, 'you pays your money and you takes your
chances.'	
	
If you are a victim of mail fraud outside of the state you live in, even if you
are willing to spend tens of thousands to pursue it with legal means, it is
probably a waste of time, effort and money. The current system protects those
who are other than the innocent in most cases.

I have not found that reporting the use of a postal money order in an Ebay
cheat schem raised any interest in the post office at all. YMMV.
