[lace-chat] Warning to ebayers
Thought this warning was very important to cross post to warn anyone who buys on ebay of a new type of scam rmail that I got yesterday. It was supposedly from a seller, although it started 'Dear seller', asking if I was still interested in their item. It had a link identical to the real ones which go to an item for sale, and when clicked on led to a genuine-looking sign-in page, which you are sometimes adked to do. I closed that, went to ebay in the usual way and searched for the item number - it didn't exist. I forwarded the email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and they've confirmed that it was a scam email. What alerted me to it being phishing was that: (1) It started 'Dear seller', when it should have been 'buyer'. (2) I've not bid on anything I haven't won in the last couple of weeks, and I haven't asked a seller a question so I haven't expressed interest in anything. (3) The sign-in page the link led to started hhtp://www.181.10... , which isn't how the address of genuine ebay sites start. The email looked right in every other way, using ebay's text and logos. If you've been caught by this one, and entered your details, change your password now, and contact ebay.

The paper has soaked away, but the sticky gunge left behind is proving stubborn :( In the US, we have a product called Goo Gone. The warnings are: against swallowing and against usin near heat sources Nice, citrus smell, but oily (contains petroleum distillates), so needs a follow-up with plain water and soap. Works a treat (not only on label stickum but on just about anything sticky, including tree sap), and doesn't harm plastics (which nail-polish remover might, if it contains acetone). I'm sure something similiar (though, probably, under another name) is available in the UK as well - look in places like Boots, in the same area as other particular cleaning supplies (around silver polish and such) -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace-chat] Getting sticky-label gunge off melamine
Melamine and nail varnish might not be happy together. Plain shortening (any fat, in fact) is likely to degrade the gum quickly, and then it can be washed off. -- -- Martha Krieg [EMAIL PROTECTED] in Michigan To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: MANNERS
I think this one's clean enough to be posted to chat... And it's good to know that Little Johhny of the dirty mind of my school days can grow up. Some :) From: L.F. During a good manners and etiquette class, the teacher says to her students: If you were courting a well educated young girl from a prominent family and during a dinner for two you needed to go to the toilet, what would you say to her? Mike replies Wait a minute, I'm going for a pee The teacher says : That would be very rude and improper on your part. Charlie replies: I'm sorry I need to go to the toilet, I'll be back in a minute. The teacher says : That's much better but to mention the word ''toilet'' during a meal, is unpleasant. And Johnnie says: My dear, please excuse me for a moment. I have to go shake hands with a personal friend, whom, I hope, to be able to introduce to you after dinner. -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
