Mirjam, if you click on the link posted by Debra (and left by Wooly), you
will see that it is a *message board* , not a store. I just had a look (it's not bad), and while most people who come here to post messages about yarnwork... some of us also frequent the Yahoo group, and there was some talk not long ago about some other group as well. I don't personally find the posting of the link offensive so much... afterall rcty is not the *only* yarn group around. However, it would be accepted easier if the poster would post a message and mention *in* that message about this new eBay message board instead of just the link. The cross-posting to more than one newsgroup is also a no-no... so I deleted the others and only left rcty on it as this is the only group I post to. *hugs* Gemini |

Messages telling you your EBay account has been compromised are NOT from
EBay. Since so many people have an EBay account, this is one way crooks try to take advantage of you. Same as if they did it for Citibank or Bank of America. I have received all three, and don't have accounts with the two banks. Still, it's nutty, and designed to convince you to give up passwords and other personal information.

ok, let's try a traditional approach:
"If you don't give me your social security number, birthdate, and credit card numbers (expiration date, security code), and whatever else we want, we'll shoot this adorable puppy. You wouldn't want to be responsible for shooting this innocent, adorable puppy, now, would you? I know that a caring knitter such as yourself would want the yarn inspector to go free to roll in another ball of wool, cotton, or mohair. Oh, what the hell. Shoot the puppy. Best keep the yarn pristine. See how insensitive you are!" "Mirjam Bruck-Cohen" wrote in message ... I know Mystifyed one !!!

Must say , Mystified i like your cynical approach !!!!
Alas in my life time i have been exposed to much worse cases of blackmail ,,,as well as real life threats. Email threats are the least dangerous in some way , and quite dangerous, because i have seen , in some lists [+ngs] , where some people threaten and intimidate others, by similar threats. Ialso consider Chain letters of ANY KIND [ whether they promise good or threaten with bad results `unless..`] Black mail threats. Thus in the case of your note i will just say , if i will answer such a note , which i would not anyway, that the threat writer is insensitive himself.... mirjam wrote: ok, let's try a traditional approach: "If you don't give me your social security number, birthdate, and credit card numbers (expiration date, security code), and whatever else we want, we'll shoot this adorable puppy.

They'll also send out fake paypal notices as well..... Noreen Yep! I've had them from PayPal (supposedly) and also one from what seemed like my bank. I had to go to my bank that day anyway, so I mentioned it to them and they told me flat out that the bank would never send those emails out so to just trash any of them that come to me. It was the only one I ever received, but I had already trashed it anyway. I deal with the *people* at my bank, not emails. Oh yeah, I checked into the PayPal one as well, and was told from them in response to my email that they would never send those out either. *hugs* Gem |
