Call Me Murphy

You'd think that only teen angst ridden multitudes would flock to places here and post all their lives. I have found that people like me with no life, and no intention of getting one, are also finding solace in the arms of the electronic age. I thought I was too good to get on here. Then Murphy stepped in once again to assure me quite the opposite of what I thought to be true.

For example; EBAY. Yes, I am the evil that stalks the eBay web, looking to buy and sell. Recently I tried to sell a car. I repeat; TRIED. I have found that there are no laws governing a new crop of scammers. They state they have business in Africa, and will I accept a western union money payment. Sounds innocent there, but when you read more of the questions inundated in your mailbox, it gets shady. They want to send extra funds over and have you refund them the money. Sounds familiar. I know I may be blonde, but I am not totally without a whit of sense. I do not wish to be a part of this, and tell them no, but what happens??? Some idiot scammer uses Buy It Now and THEN asks me to do the same thing. I have made sure he is no longer able to bid, relisted my auction, and take solace in the fantasies of me actually finding the dufus and using a baseball bat until sense is rendered.

Ah the joys of fantasy. Now off to another post
