Ebay warning
« on: August 11, 2004, 05:07:01 pm »
I made a bid on some legitimate zaurii on ebay, and started getting spam, some via ebay, some more direct, of people offering knock-down prices on zaurii.

These people offer really great prices, but want money via moneygram, e.g. Western Union or some other unstoppable source.

Be warned, if you get offered a good deal, and are tempted, be careful to use an Escrow service, and one you know is legitimate - there are some fake escrow sites around used by these scammers to get your credit card or other details.
