Hello,

I was trying to sell a reasonably-priced Nikon D90 package on eBay and got the following buyer: http://myworld.ebay.ca/nodojarsin61/

My first email from the guy was as follows (also I got a FAKE PayPal notice).

Hello, please pardon my email as I use my other one only for eBay transactions, this is my real one..

Now, unfortunately my camera was left on the oven and melted last night. Would you still like it? Also I cracked the lens when I was putting it on the couch to watch TV since my TV is so far away. Do you still want? I can include a free copy of PHOTOSHOP CS6.3 for you to edit the pictures.

IT STILL TAKES BEAUTIFUL PICTURES LIKE THIS: http://tinyurl.com/3jvgr

The pictures I included: http://www.doobybrain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/burned-canon-7d.jpg & http://www.mustafadavis.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/broken-lens1.jpg

I can't wait for him to write back, and I LOVE that this is a real forum. Respect!

Hi.

Welcome to the Eater.

If he knows your 'real' email address, drop him immediately. He has your contact details . That's a big NO NO.

If you want to take up this great hobby, read through the stickies, get a mentor, and find some other scammers you can inflict ladpain on...(trust me, there are plenty)

He doesn't, I use an alias account for all online transactions since I hate people knowing my real name.

Well Done sir!

In that case:
Read the stickies, read some published baits for inspiration, and annoy the heck out of your lad Very Happy

(ow, and get a mentor!)
