Why don't I ever get these? I feel so left out.

Maybe you should go to the site and into a bunch of info telling them off or something.

The emails come some frequently now that they are like that Nigeria offical that asks for assistance email that went global a few years back. You know that Nigeria email is bogus from the massive publicity and now you know these emails are bogus from the publicity that they are receiving.

They kind of lose their impact after the third or fourth one, don't they?

Mine get spamcopped and tossed out when I receive them.

I forward all of them to [email protected] because I want ebay to know the volume of these emails that's out there. Plus, one of these days my credit card will expire and I want ebay to verify that letter when it eventually comes.
