Fellow SNAers.................I don't know what to do. I received this email.............and......and..........it seems to have a ring of truth to it. I'll admit............I was looking at a certain website............................and yes it contained images..............images that some might find disturbing..........especially since some were in a state of undress.......... But!...........even though I was aroused...............excited even...............I....I........wasn't really interfering with myself...............................just making 'adjustments'. Here is the email................I await your advice...............I know I can trust my fellow members to steer me clear of this terrible situation. The website in question................ http://glass-ware.stores.yahoo.net/newhardware.html Thanks..........in advance.........I'm counting on you lot...............so please!.........don't let me down. (I don't even know what a Bitcoin is!)

For those who are interested I thought I'd copy and paste the email chain here. This "David" guy seemed to be interested in the Myryad MXI2080 I listed on Aussie Audio Mart, but it was just a scam. Oh well, it made the week more interesting anyway. Read from bottom to top, all emails were sent off to phishing@paypal.com (along with hash details) just prior to the "Well in that case there shouldn't be any problems" email. ATM I'm just leading him on to find out the details on the sting, partly because I'm curious and partly to document the whole experience. I'll update when he gets back to me. Ok.. good, Payment will be done asap, once you receive payment in your paypal, so you tell me when you will be available for pickup... please note my friend is adding some amount to your asking price for me to process shipping, once you receive the payment in your account, you will deduct your asking price and send the balance money to me..let me know if ok by you and also email me your phone number...Regards On 6/3/13, Jeff <removed> wrote: > Well in that case there shouldn't be any problems.
