How dodgy is this?
I just got this email yesterday, via ebay:
Ive also got some guy who offered m a Zalman Flower (via ebay) for £25, which he reduced to £10 because I wasnt as interested as he wanted me to be. Hmmmm... what to do... |

How did he know you were interested in 9800 PRO's??? Have you bid on some or something?
If cars had followed the same developmental path as computers, a Rolls Royce would cost £60, get a million miles per gallon and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.

But imagine if he approached a noob - lol, they would have been freaked out to the max! |

Proof that eBay is full of jerks wanting to get rich from everyone else. Bin the email and report them to eBay (not that they'll do anything except send an automated response!
 )

Change your password and report him. Maybe he had access to your account? Dunno...

I realley hate autoresponders from Ebay. I once got an Autorespsonder asking me If the previous automated response had fixed my problem. The answer was of course no as the first autoresponder was was just a list of the FAQ's which I had already read thats why I clicked the box that said contact support (Which took me 30 minutes to find)
Specs:
Q6600 G0, Thermalright Ultra 120, ABIT IP35 PRO, 4GB Corsair DDR2, Trusty old Tagan 480u, BFG 8800 GTS 512, Samsung F1 750 GB. "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." Albert Einstein |

I've had that before on eBay, along the lines of 'we saw you bid, and didn't win' etc type emails, 'would you be interested....' sucks big time.
AHH didn't know you X'ed the email! hehe
