they send it as a "question from ebay member" email and say that they just paid. i just ended a pretty big auction so i clicked the link to see what cd was his and it asked me to sign in. luckily i looked at the top and saw that it wasn't an eBay address. be on the lookout ..

good lookin out...thanks...

i thought i had replied to your last question but i guess i didn't. i don't know how to convert shit to cd .. last time i sent tapes to my homie in Texas to convert the Pimp Doggs and shit cd but he took forever on it and i don't like sending out shit like that .. too noid thinking i'm gonna lose it.

 

[Trevor]

if you trust me, i know someone that can convert em to cd and ship em back to you within 2-3 days of getting em, let me know

 

[Sentenced]

maybe you should try to dub it first & send the copy to your folks.

On Topic: I havent slep in almost 48 hours so im kinda slow, can someone fill me in on how was he trying to scam you? get you to send an album he pretended to pay for?

pz

 

[diggler]

thanks for the warning, i wouldn't even thought that was a scam.

sentenced, the email he's talking about isn't even a buyer that's emailing him, it's from someone trying to get his ebay username and password. usually you can tell if it's a hoax by looking at the web address even if the link they give you looks like a ebay link, it's really a link to a different webpage.
