I ordered a motherboard and a copy of Windows XP Professional from this person, what I got instead was a CD in a paper sleve with a serial number written on it (turned out to be illegal) and after several weeks gave up on the motherboard. All up I was dudded for over $350 and ebay have been of no help.
Only a search on Usenet turned up some more info on this lowlife -
