ebay?

I bid on a 30" Apple Display on eBay. My max bid was a grand (it's 2k in the stores... whatever).

I've received 4 emails from scammers who say they're the seller and they will sell the item to me via the eBay "Second Chance" method. I've gotten one of them on the hook.

"Dean Cameron" is very excited about the prospect of a new friend.

To wit.

Hello my gusty friend! This sounds great. What do I do next!?

Let me know when I can send you the money. I will be going to Western Onion tomorrow to wire some money to Kwan, my houseboy's, parent's in the Phillipines.

Some call it rent, I call it a fee for services rendered. (BIG WINK!!!)

Here is a picture of my cat, mister snickers. He's happy about the great deal coming down my pipe!!!!

Isn't he dreamy!?!

Hello my amigo!!!

Which address should I use? I have several! Currently, I am in lovely Florida, USA gearing up for the winter season. My houseboy, Kwan, has joined me (ass he always does, natch!) and I will be here through the winter.

When I am not here in Florida (home of the early bird special (or "ESPECIAL" as our brown friends tend to say (not as brown as Kwan, butt brown, nonetheless) where one can grab an entree, cokesodapop and desserttt (jello or pudding not both) (sad face!)) for less than $6) I am either in NYC (New York City, New York) or lovely Brentwood, California.

I made my fortune during the junkbond heydey of yore and now am living out my fabulos life trotting the globe with young Kwan and a Macaque Chimp named Mike. I leave my cats, Mister Snickers and JoJo the Dancing Clown at home as it is difficult to travel with such a menagerie.

I must tell you that I don't really travel with Mike the Macaque. He is merely a figment of my imagination. Forgive, please.

Whoosh! What a long answer I have typed to you, my friend! I chalk it up to the lonliness of an aging man with too much money and too much time. My son, who I think only speaks to me because he is interested in his vast inheritance, would rather that I have a hobby and is, I think, jealous of Kwan, who is like a son to me. Only browner.

My son was jealous of his mother, ass well, but is not so jealous now as she has long ago shuttled off this mortal coil ass the Bearded Lady of Avon so suckinctly put it.

Irregardless.

Today I wired some money to a young man in Amsterdam. It is a tragedy, I tell you. His father was the late General Sani Abacha, the former leader of Nigeria and was deposed by evil depots and now Ibrahim and his mother, the SCRUMPTIOUS Miriam Abacha are living like rats in ratville. Fortunately, I am helping them. I sent them $8000 today. Two weeks ago, I was able (after much adoo) to complete the transfer fee transaction with the bank manager there in Assmasterdam for a mere $1500 and this $8000 assures lovely Miriam and Ibrahim (not lovely, but a good egg, nunthelest) a manor of which they are accustomed to until the funds are released in Amsterdamn.

My crimony, do I go on or what?!

The point is this: I am ready to send you the money.

I have two ebay accounts. I must tell you why.

One of them I keep secret from my Attorney, Mister Owen Marshall - Counselor at Law, as I use it to buy "naughty things" i.e. videos and dvd's of the pornographic kind. I do not want Mister Owen Marshall - Counselor at Law to know about this account. I'm sure you understand why, friend.

So my longwinded reply to you is these:

1. Which address do you need?
B. Which eBay name do you require?
2: My full name is: DEAN CAMERON BEAURIGARD J. SCHMIDT
3. The J is for "Jingleheimer" do you need that?
4: NOT A QUESTION: because of the placement of my names (thanks mother!) I had an unfortunate but not altogether inaccurate nickname of "BJ" and "Schmidt" rhymed with... well... I won't boar you with details... which is why I tend to not use those names and prefer the simple and elegant "Dean Cameron".

That you are paying for shipping on this monitor (a gift to Kwan after his gift of silence upon release from the clinic) makes my heart sore like a bird on the wind.

Thank you, my gusty fiend!

P.S. Is the ex winner okay? I trust no malfortune has befallen on him/her/it.

Here's hoping I keep this one on the hook long enough to do a sequel!
