The Totally Bizarre catagory on ebay always has this shit. To sum it up, you've got:
unsearched Brazilian emeralds
possessed toys
weight loss pills
dick enhancing pills
mystery boxes "try your luck" empty box scams
And then you have the very worst of them all; the sob story "I am a single mother of 5 living in a small flat who is just selling things to raise enough money to buy a house of our own and pay for our dying daughters medication..." scam where you pay 500 bucks for some mundane item like a toy car or football card.
Yeah, right. Barely enough money to feed the family but conveniently enough left over to pay for the internet connection? Surely moving from a small flat to a big house would get you into even MORE debt since a bigger house costs more to run. The scam has so many holes in it that I could go on forever about how little sense it makes.
