    A buddy of mine just got taken for 600 bucks on ebay buying a cell phone..Paypal which owns ebay told him forget about getting any money back.. Beware if you use paypal or ebay.. They wont give you ANY info what so ever about the person selling the item if you get ripped off.. Just letting people know about paypal and ebay... BEWARE!

    I don`t like cell phones. To be able to be reached any were, by anyone. To be monitored at all times. I may have Prisoner as my Nick, but I don`t want to be a prisoner.

    If you can find a Sony P900 for that price I want to know where because they retail for around 900 dollars here in the states.. Where can you get them at that price?

    I work for a UK Bank and in Nigeria you can actually go to Nightschool to learn how to defraud a bank.

    Consequently all the letters we receive are a basic template, with antiquated english so it is so easy to recognise the fraud. They also always manage to spell Lloyds TSB wrong which doesnt help their case much.

    They are getting better though

    If you're dumb enough to fall for scams like that, you deserve to lose money until you learn not to be stupid.
