I was almost scammed as well...I got a e-mail the other day from a "e-bay seller" that said I had expressed interest in a 1gb stick of RAM for my computer and that a buyer had backed out and I could get it...this happened right after I got the mail and got my RAM in...At that point I knew it was a scam, so I ignored it. The next day (yesterday) I got an e-mail from him saying he was in Italy for his sisters wedding and the item was ready to ship, I just had to give him my info...NOT GONNA HAPPEN. He even tried to assure me it was gonna go through e-bay and follow the e-bay policy and all. I knew it BS because he said he was in Italy...Nothing against Italians, but thats where alot of the scams come from, mainly because, if I was informed correctly, the US doesn't expedite criminals from Italy, so I couldn't do a damn thing about it. Now by this time I had said stop sending me e-mails trying to scam me 2 times, but today I get a second chance offer from e-bay. The e-mail looked legit, but I knew it was BS since when I clicked the link to the auction, it said: http://www.ebay.com:80/wsyadayada. Now the :80 was a dead give away for me, but some it might not be. Don't let this kinda thing happen to you guys. I can easily see how somebody would be fooled by this.
