EBay Scam: Thanks for the box

Thu Dec 07 13:49:30 EST 2006
With all the hype surrounding the new Playstation system, wouldn't it
be cool to score one for your brother, your boyfriend, your kids? Like
Christmas crazes of years' past (remember Tickle Me Elmo, and Cabbage
Patch dolls?) this hard-to-find gift is on lots of people's wish lists
but nowhere on the shelves.
Knowing you can't find one, wouldn't you be just a little amazed to
locate one on an eBay search? Honey, trust your instincts; it IS too
good to be true.

You may not believe it, but unscrupulous sellers are posting
descriptions and photos of the video game box, but it little teeny
print you find that you're getting just that...a box. People have
bought these empty boxes for hundreds of dollars.

Don't say I didn't warn you.
