A new variation on the Nigerian internet scam: this time they send the money to you! According to this, unwitting dupes agree to accept PayPal payments and then withdraw and wire the money to their principal. Then they find out that the guy is using your address to obtain cash for false EBay auctions. Guess who has to pay? Be careful out there.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
