JD...thankfully I don't use him anymore. With the help of the fine folks at FTE, I do mosyt of my work myself now. That reminds me, need to go to the Ranger forum and post a question. Neither does anyone in my family after several monumental screw ups. They didn't do what I charged you for them to do? Oops...soory about that. How about a free oil change? The bad part is it used to be a good shop til the previous owner, current owner's dad, died. Then it just went downhill.

Is anyone following this? It's amazing.

First of all, I find it interseting because this Sal guy is near me in Philly (or at least the address they have posted), I drive near his place at least 2x a day, everyday. Read all of the emails that the Justin kid (the one being scammed) is writing back and forth with this Sal guy, soap operas are now obsolete because of this guy. I have a new past-time for those long days at work. It's definitely worth the long read, and I honestly cannot wait to see the ending. It's like watching "24" or "Sopranos", but neither are on now, so this is how I get by.

Dear eBay member, We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your eBay account from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe that your account was used by a third party without your authorization. If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual login attempts may have been initiated by you.
The login attempt was made from:
IP address: 172.156.173.98
ISP Host: AC9CAD62.ipt.aol.com

By now, we used many techniques to verify the accuracy of the information our users provide us when they register on the Site. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, eBay cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity. Thus, we have established an offline verification system o help you evaluate with who you are dealing with. The system is called ebay PowerSafe and it's the most secure eBay wallet so far.

If you are the rightful holder of the account, click on the link below, fill the form and then submit as we will verify your identity and register you to ebay PowerSafe.



To make eBay.com the most secure site to place or bid on your auctions,every user will be registered to PowerSafe.

If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to temporally suspend your account.


* Please do not respond to this e-mail as your reply will not be received.

Regards, eBay Inc.

Ohhh man Andy, -you fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book...

Watch out for the rest of the identity theft. Check with your local police department.

All i gave them was my name, debit card #
it looked just like them, then found out it wasnt right before they got my money
i got my money back, filed report, etc...
somehow they made a debit card like mine, used it at an ATM
dunno but it should be on tape
i filed report w/ ebay, police department and bank... they all 3 are prosecuting
and I got a new account #

Loaded just fine for me as well. That is why they have the rating system on Ebay. Don't ever buy from someone with negetive feed back. I have had nothing but good luck with Ebay.
