OH man, when I first saw this I thought it was gonna be about ex cons, and I was gonna rant about the growing # of them at work! Those scams are the typical ebay scams, and sadly tons of suckers have been taken by them. One of my favorites is when a bike or truck has a ridiculously low buy it now price and free shipping! They just steal somebody else's ad or user id and take as many suckers as they can. A quick way to spot em is a hidden buyer id, cause they hide em so people can't warm them. I love turning them into ebay now, but I used to email the scammers and get their hopes up, usually with "hey, this sounds like a great deal(scam), would it be easier for you if I just gave you my bank account number and have you take out the cash?". Sometimes I'll tell them that we know they are scammers but I won't tell em how we know, drives em crazy! I had several emails from a scammer in hong kong, I drove that guy so nuts every time he'd put his scam auctions up till he finally just stopped. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard as when I was typing those emails.
