Thumbs down Most Shameless ebay auction EVER.

Folks, came across this. If that link doesn't work, go to ebay.com and pull up item # 120178959495

Someone is auctioning off, for $4.99 Buy It Now, 500 miles. Can anyone guess which 500 miles it would be? Here's the text of the auction:

Email Link!
Redeam for 500 Northwest Airlines Worldperks!

Due to eBay rules, actual airline miles cannot be sold on ebay. Therefore, you're NOT bidding on 500 miles, rather you're bidding on an email link (you will have to go redeam the 500 miles yourself).

The process will take 1-2 minutes - you need to answer a few simple questions, and I'll even give you the answers! If you have ANY problems redeaming your miles, I'll cheerfully refund your money.

There are 5 separate email links, each is worth 100 miles. Click through all 5 and redeam 500 points!

Shipping is FREE on this auction. Miles will post to your account IMMEDIATELY.
Who is willing to bet that this person is trying to sell you the links to the 5 different WorldPerks University quizzes... seeing as they each earn you 100 miles. They don't even mention that you cannot redeem the 500 if you have already played the quizzes... of course to tell someone that would also tip them off that you can go to the website and take the quizzes on your own for free!

I'm going to report the item. If my guess about the University quizzes is correct, this is a total scam. How pathetic.
