Ebay hate mail. Today just keeps getting MORE interesting...speaking of which: HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOTCHIC!

Ok, as everyone here knows I am the resident ebay guru....I get this **** in my inbox in regard to a dell rig on auction

"can i get a service tag number so i can check it out"
"i was wondering is the flat panel montior included? how big is the screen"

My reply:
"Yes, 17 inches. HYNSX11 JYNSH11 2ZNXS11. Any of those should work. However Dell may not have them in the system yet."

His reply:

"i have call dell and comfirm with them that you are not real and the item that you sell are stolen.. and e-bay has been notifyed.."

Interesting. My reply since I havent gotten sleep in about 38 hours.....

Me: "What are you talking about? "
It: "my e-mail explain please read again"
Me: I dont understand the nature of your comment."
It: "oh wellz"
Me: "Where are you from?"
It: "why worrie about that"
(heres the fun part)
Me: "Because if Ebay cancels this auction my attorneys are going to sue you for slander."
It: "look at the information you provided me with those service tag number..
there all false attorney i got one too"
Me: "Got a phone number? How bout a state bar associtation membership?"

I dont know if I should get sleep or stay up and watch the dementia!

BTW, if anyone knows how to parse headers please PM me. Id like to see where this moron is posting from.

P.S. In the ferengi spirit of saving bandwidth, I'm consolidating the Ebay moron thread with hotchic's congratulatory birthday thread (Not that they're associated with each other). Happy B-day.

Um, you should just sue this guy for being an unintelligible idiot who wastes oxygen. Forget the slander 😀
 
Just ignore him. Whenever someone emails me asking for a specific number like that for one of my auctions, I say I won't tell because it might be unique/special to the product and shouldn't be leaked out.
 
News alert: Monkey's secret revealed to be monkey!

The header you should look for on any hotmail or yahoo email is:

X-Originating-IP: [162.84.222.160]

That is the IP address of the person that sent the email.

I still get to send PsychoAndy a consulting bill right?

Happy b-day HotChic!
 
Happy birthday HotChic! 🙂

Second, the idiot immediately declares the systems stolen and his duty to report? Who is he, The Great Dell Avenger?

PAB, that guy is a moron. Who does he think he is? Dell Police?

HotChic, happy birthday. Looks like we were both born on the finest day of the year. 😀
