Scams

I heard today on BBC Radio 3, there are something like 200 fraudulent auctions on e-bay, in the UK alone, at any one time. It seems an 18 year old made 45,000 UK pounds selling items that did not exist. Furthermore he was taunting his victims by telling them what fools they were for sending him the money.

I'm guessing the major parties are fighting over who gets to run him for Parliament.

I don't know, I turned the radio on part way through an interview.

He got a 12 month jail sentance, but seen as there is no room in jail and it was his first offence he could be out in 5 to 6 months

I guess this makes me all the more appreciative of honest people.
