  A good read, and interesting on the retaliation by the scammer. Interestingly, someone I know asked me to look at an ebay purchase they were going to make, which I immediately suspected was a scam. They pulled out (hadn't actually put on a bid) and the retaliation was a succession of viruses and phishing emails, all of which (sort of) looked like ebay dispute resolution emails. I'm guessing the scammers have their message boards as well, and the standard retaliation response is to try and send viruses and/or phish out a credit card for fraud.
