Everyone be aware of eBay scam. They are most of the time people from nigeria. Post names and e-mail addresses of people that you got scammed from. They send you a fake PayPal message saying that in order for you to get your money you have to first give them the  tracking number of the package which means that you first have to sent the package and then you will receive your money(realy?). I learned this the hard way and I want everyone to be really careful.  Here are some of them

I've had those, they stink of suspicious activity so I always delete them anyway.

These have been around for quite awhile. Keep in mind that the majority of problems people have stemming from computer use ultimately boils down to social engineering. Keep knowledgeable and don't follow through with something that seems to good to be true.

I never thought anyone fell for these xD.

 

Hello I'm Nigerian Prince,

 

Send me details I send you many millions because I need to get money out of mine country

 

Thnks friend.

 

Even if such a dumb scam was successful you think a Nigerian Prince laundering money out of his country via your bank account is legal?

 

I think upon signing up for the internet everyone should be forced to sit down and watch futurama : benders big score
