other don, a clever money laundering scam is where you are grossly overpaid for your ebay item to the tune of 1000 bux. you check with your bank and, sure enough, its been added to your account. next, you get an email from the scammer claiming he made a "typo" and added two zeros to the amount by mistake. rather than $10.00 he paid you $1000.00 and will you please return the difference ($990.00) to such and such paypal account immediately or he will charge you with fraud. of course you return the difference immediately. problem is...he paid you with a stolen credit card and he now has $990.00 cash and YOU are in the middle of a credit card fraud suit. if this scam ever happens to you, report it to your bank for them to intervene. DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY TO THE SCAMMER!

i get one or two million dollar emails a week from some "christian" lady in nigeria who is dying of cancer and only needs my social security number to pay my gift tax on my $7,500,000.00.
