A new clever eBay scam warning

[Eddy Swynar]

John,

Looks like those two great W.C. Fields truisms are just as applicable
to-day, as they were some 60-70 years ago---follow these, & you'll never get
hood-winked, specifically:

-YOU CAN'T CHEAT AN HONEST MAN, and,

-NEVER GIVE A SUCKER AN EVEN BREAK.
