Sorry for the offtopic post. A scammer has caught my eye on Ebay. It came to my attention when I receeived email from a bobydylan22 on a second chance item. The only problem was that bobdylan22 was not the seller. I dutifully reported it to the ebay authorities. So I thought I would check on his ID to see if was inactivated yet. (Oh he will be, it is only matter of time) the rest of this is pretty funny (and pathetic really) First the IDs: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=bobdylan22 Bobby has one feedback , note the feedback "no problem at all" let's see what bobby bought: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15198&item=7309050318 Bobby bought a #2 pencil for $.18 from joannelwss - one that joannelwss scored 100% on her driving test that also has a nice touch. Bobby -> btw , Bobby is registered in the UK, joanelwss is registered in the Phillipines. SteveB, do you ordered all your # 2 pencils from the Phillipines? joannelwss has two feedbacks, let she who they are from ... http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=joannelwss jackbeebe99 and johncoleman21 - not the typos from two different buyers: Deal went vbery(sic) well Greal deak(sic) let's seee what jackbeebe99 and johncoleman21 bought http://cgi1.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemWithCategory&item=7309050045 http://cgi1.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemWithCategory&item=7309050959 Surprise ! they also bought the a number two pencil, the one that joannelwss used to past her driving exam, the one with the nice touch... jackbeebe99 and johncoleman21 are also located in the UK. Also note that apparantly, it is no problem at all to ship single #2 pencils sold on Thursday March 18th in the Phillipines and to have them delivered in time to johncoleman21 to make positive feedback on Sunday March 20th. You gotta love Federal Express, they do a great job in shipping #2 pencils that cost $.18 around the world in two days. Smart girl that joannelwss is ,knowing there would be high demand in the UK for her #2 pencils that she took the driving exam with and that she scored 100% with. She is so thrilled with $.18 , she is even ending the auction early. Best, Michael
