Off topic but here goes....
Just an observation but have you guys noticed that Ebay seems to be nothing
but a DEN OF THIEFS lately? Just looking around for Mustang stuff and checking
sellers feedback most of these yahoo's have between 12 and 20 negative feedback
messages in the last month, some 118 in a year. They all say NO returns or exchanges,
Give me a F'ing break, If I'm gonna send someone $249 for an item, I want something
that at least resembles customer service, SCREW these A$$HOLES...Buyer BEWARE!!
Sorry for Ranting, But I had to get that off my chest.[sm=rant.gif]

I'm getting pretty sick of the email spoofs of eBay and PayPal. They are always telling me that my account has been frozen for safety reasons, so click here.... and the link provided takes me to a site that appears to be the real deal... all I need to do is enter my credit card number, expiry date and CVV code. People are falling for this in a big way, too.
We should stick this thread in the "Off-Topic" section, because it's good for everyone to be aware of.
