I got the following message this morning with the subject "Ebay Account Suspended."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I knew it was a scam, but getting the message in text form rather than viewing

it in HTML made the scammer's address look so obvious. If you look up www.wkywesley.org you will see a web site for church-going youth. However, the phony eBay information page is on the site. Some of the links on that page point to the real eBay pages.

I did a whois on the www.wkywesley.org site and got the following information:

The part that says "Status:CLIENT RENEW PROHIBITED" has me wondering if this person has been caught.

I hope they caught him.

I hope they give him 30 days.

30 days on the Scrotum Hanger. :P

It should be televised.
