[p2p-research] tale of a stolen computer

Thu Apr 30 08:40:07 CEST 2009

Michel,

In addition to confirming our fund raising goal of '$300 for the purchase of
a netbook for you,' I also need your PayPal info so the funds we raise can
be transferred to you. That's how Fundable works...

I hope that after I enter that info they'll take me to a page where they'll
let me make the first donation by credit card (I had canceled my PayPal
account after being scammed on eBay and PayPal people did not want to help
recover the funds even though they're part of eBay) ... Else, I'd have to
setup a paypal account, get it verified, etc, which is a pain.

That's all for now.

Marc
