Interesting gambit:

Get rung up by a voice with a thick accent ( you can guess the origin )
claiming that my computer is generating errors and reporting them to
M$soft. Offers to send a technician to help fix the errors and restore
computer to "full working order". Cannot give details about which
computer is generating the errors. Cannot send a transcript of the
error log to me - does not know my email address. But has my name,
street address and phone number - which anyone can get by looking in the
phone book. Assumes my computer is running Windoze, but does not know
which version. Suggests I run the error log report using eventwvr,
which does show a few errors and warnings, but then I know about those,
and M$soft specifically says that errors from this log are never sent to
M$soft.

A good way of getting a bit of work and money ?

An even better way of getting entry to a house with a view to casing the
joint ?

Maybe I'm just too suspicious.

Yes, sounds like a variation on the same idea.

IMHO many so-called registry cleaners are not much more than this.

They probably quote the entire spam, including the url's, because the
amount of computer memory available for usenet posting has reached an
actualized infinity.

It worked for my uncle when he sold his farm back in the '50s. No
one wanted his mules for $25 each, so he waited a few weeks and offered
them for $75 each. They sold the same day.

And a little bit amusing to see that .cc is also used by a lot

More efficient to simply expose all the headers and forward to the abuse
email of the source - in the first iteration groups-abuse@google.com.

I'm just doing that now with any spam I see in any of the groups I
frequent. It might annoy the people at Google-groups (and others) to do
something about this problem.

I recommend that everyone that knows how to expose all the headers (in
Eudora you simply pull down "View - Headers - All") and then forward away.

I sometimes see this on eBay. Never understood it really, though I'm sure it
works sometimes.

There was a really beautiful Yokogawa 5.5 digit multimeter which failed to
sell at 199.00 so the seller relisted at 299.00 then finally at 399.00.

Never did sell as far as I know...

Another true story: I was at the Dayton hamfest about 25 years ago
when a friend walked up and saw people buying a lot of things from me.
He said he had a lot of the same things, and hadn't sold anything. I
had another friend watch my stuff while we went to his tables. I saw
his problem, right away. Everything was too cheap. To a lot of people
it said, that the merchandise was either defective or stolen, and they
wouldn't touch it. I ripped up all his price tags and wrote new tags.
He was telling me that I was crazy, but people started buying his parts
& equipment, so I headed back to my spot.

He came back at the end of the day to tell me that he had sold almost
everything, but he still couldn't understand what happened. I explained
how I priced my merchandise at hamfests: You make a quick trip around
the market, looking at prices. If i saw something for $2 in one spot
and $5 at another I would split the difference. That would be $3.50, so
I would round it up to $4.00 to keep from needing too much change. It
also gave me a little room to dicker, since people would want to knock a
dollar off of two, at that price. :)

I went to one hamfest with a $20 bill, and $35 worth of equipment. By
the end of the day I had made over $200, and had a van full of used test
equipment and parts. I had sold everything in the first 15 minutes, so
I went out and spent all the money. I couldn't leave till the event was
over, so I just sat behind my van to talk to friends as they passed.
People saw what I had bought, and didn't care that I had sold out of
everything. They offered me more than what the purchases were worth to
me, so I sold it all. I went out again, and spent all the money, then
went back to my truck. I was cleaned out again, and made one last trip
to buy stuff for my shop.
