Subject:      Phony Ebay Offers on Paulchen Bike Rack
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hi,

A couple of days ago I bid on a Paulchen bike rack for a Vanagon on Ebay (item 220081206053). Needless to say, but I was outbid. But a strange thing has happened. I've received two rather poorly written emails from the "seller" of the item letting me know that he has an additional rack for sale off-line of Ebay.

What tipped me off is that the email was sent to an address that is similar to my ebay id, but not the email I use for my ebay account.

Amazing the audacity of these folks!

Perhaps I ought to tell the seller that I'd be willing to do a deal COD! HA!!

Here's the email:
