God comes in a box, you may or may not be able to see Him in the box, but He's there, trust me. Have Faith. God is best used within six days, and He requires one day off per week. He is good at performing miracles, creating existance, and other such time consuming tasks. Once you own God, you will question how you ever lived without Him. Shipping for God is US $2.00 and He will come in a standard cardboard box with no airholes because He is immortal/omnipotent. Some settling may occur. Happy bidding! HOLLY CRAP! The opening bid is 15 grand and someone bid for it! This has to be the biggest scam every!
Oh my, 17 souls have bid on this. You have got to be kidding me. How does ebay allow this? Im not the most religious guy in the world, but I am assuming God cant be happy about being put into a box and sold to the higgest bidder.
WOW. I believe God is everywhere, i'd love to do somethin like this...for the money, but not sure how God would feel about it. That's a crazy amount of money for a box.
The person bid for it because it is a scam. Sometimes people will go bid an amazing amount of money on something so that no one else will actually try to place a bid for it.
Any of you guys listen to Tom Martino's show on 740am in the afternoon? The following is something he talked about on the air. This is one of the most genius scams I have ever heard about. (i apologize if this has been posted on here previously) -------------------- Toll Free Dialing Scam Exposed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- by - Tom Martino May 14, 2002 The Troubleshooter Show has exposed another scam! This one is a toll free dialing scam from phony pay phones. Background The FCC allows those who own pay phones to collect 24-cents whenever anyone uses their phones to make toll free calls. The charge is automatically billed to the toll free line. The FCC instituted the charge in an effort to be fair to pay phone owners. But in allowing the charge, the government inadvertently opened a door to fraud. The Scam It didn't take long for some people to figure out that if they bought a pay phone and dialed various toll free numbers around the clock, they could make a lot of money. I have discovered that these people have installed pay phones in their homes, connected them to computers and programmed them to dial tolls free numbers. All they have to do is connect for 3 seconds and they get 24-cents for the call. One man in Arizona hooked up an estimated 22 phones, which made at least two calls every minute. Do the math! If he gets 24-cents for each call ... that's 48-cents a minute. That's $28.80 per hour That's $691.20 per day (for each phone) Now figure 22 phones and that equals a grand total of $15,206.40 per day! At 365 days a year ... that comes to $5,550,336.00 per year! We got wind of one guy in Denver doing the same thing sowe went knocking on his door. He admitted he had a pay phone automatically dialing toll free numbers ... but he told me he was shutting down the operation because of all the publicity. The government isn't happy with the trend ... and has begun to crack down on the practice (especially after it was exposed on the Troubleshooter Show) In San Francisco two men were indicted by a Federal Grand Jury for allegedly making more than one-million phony toll free calls. And after our intense reporting on the subject ... we heard the guy in Arizona has also closed shop. The scam can go on a long time without being discovered ... There are an estimated 26-million toll free lines in the United States ... so there are plenty of numbers to dial. And not many people with toll free lines will likely complain about a small pay phone charge on their bill. Don't expect toll free providers to complain about it ... Companies that provide toll free service don't care about the scam because they actually benefit from it. That's because they often tack on an extra charge on top of the 24-cents that goes to the pay phone owner. We found some toll free providers making as much as 30-cents per call on top of the pay phone surcharge. Be vigilant ... Nowadays many people have toll free lines ... churches, community organizations, charities, retail businesses, corporations, and even parents (for when their kids are off at college). If you have a toll free line, check the bill for pay phone charges. If you see suspicious activity (like a pay phone that has called you periodically), report it to your toll free provider and insist that they investigate. In the long run this scam costs all of us by running up the cost of telecommunications.
