OK, so I placed an ad a while back on my facebook page looking for Zenith vacuum tube TV's from the '60's or '70's. The first thing I saw when I got online this morning was an e-mail that I could tell by the subject line was concerning that wanted ad. All excited, I opened the e-mail thinking I'd found something. This is what I got:

"Dear friend:

Needless to say, I said a few choice words. Here I am looking for vintage TV's and some company is trying to pass their Chinese s--t off on me! Really, I don't even know if this is legit or a scam. Any thoughts?

Looks like it. Though it's possible some chinese guys trying to unload whatever they build there (these days pretty much all low end stuff). Either way I wouldn't buy from them...

Who would use such strange words as "electronical" and "filiale" in writing
such an ad?

I used to get the same type of emails on my ePay auctions. They would use the ask the seller a question button, with the same content in their message. I think ePay cracked down on them. They must be trolling facebook and myspace now.

My ebay is sometimes plagued with that same ad! I get mad at these people and let them know it, they have been leaving me alone. They use the "ask seller a question" link when I sell stuff, pi**es me off! BIGTIME scam in my opinion, let 'em know how you feel about it, they might leave you alone too.

Oh, my Bullshit-O-Rama meter about pegged just readin' the 1st line or 2...
