    Default Funny eBay scam...

    I found this funny, shows the idiots who run these scams are stupider than once thought...

    Subject: Message from eBay Member Regarding Item #5840750304 (This is a real auction BTW)

    Item: 50FT S-VIDEO CABLE DSS SVHS CABLE SVIDEO [GOLD Plated]

    Message: Hi,

    Do you have a size to fit 28~30 inch waist in this style?And what is the total price with shipping included for your item?
    Many Thanks

    Error 1: No bids
    Error 2: No winning bidder, so how could they have my email
    Error 3: Last time I checked, you don't wear a 50 foot S-Video cable

    Funniest scam yet Maybe I should sell one of these, that way Im guaranteed to find a buyer... AND start a fashion trend!

    That makes no sense if he wants a 29-30 inch waist size.

    I think he related it to the fact that the scammer thought it was clothing, yet the cord is 50 feet long.

    Don't ask.. they're scammers.. they don't make sense..

    1) You don't need to win an auction to send email if you use eBay's message system

    2) Where's the scam??

    That is very strange... I don't see a scam either, but it's weird it is a real auction.

    Maybe he somehow sent the e-mail to the wrong person? I don't know how he would of, but it's a possibility
