ROFLMAO!!! I got 9 of 10 correct, or 90%. I missed 1! Ha, Ha. I missed the 1 that I get every month from my own bank!!!!ROFLMAO. It just looked so "fraudulent" from that perspective.

9 out of 10 here.

Sir Degrader · 11-30-2005, 08:41 PM

I didn't respond to any of them, tsunami victims be damned!

Calaethis Dragonsbane · 11-30-2005, 10:41 PM

I got 1 out of 10. I said they could all bugger off.

robertthebard · 12-01-2005, 12:27 AM

I got 8 of 10, but erred to the side of caution...The two I missed were legitimate, but I said they were frauds...Of course, if they actually made it to my inbox, they'd all get deleted.

Absolutely.
At least they have a sense of humour claiming they might terminate your eBay account if "your actions may cause financial loss or legal liability for you, our users or us."

There is, of course, no section 9 in the user agreement at all.
