Hell, I just received an email from someone called Irina Rozvora (irozzora@rochester.rr.com), requesting me to send her US $100. Nonetheless, it seems she's a legitimate PayPal member, since her Money Request also showed up in my PayPal.
Here's the full email header:

While I'm indeed looking for an IBM ThinkPad T23 motherboard on ebay (and bidding on several), I haven't won any. I never purchased any ThinkPad T23 motherboard from her either. Besides, the item she mentioned (IBM THINKPAD T23 WORKING MOTHERBOARD) is not even an ebay item.
So it is obvious that she's a fraudster who's trying to lure me into sending her US $100 --using the fact that I'm indeed looking for a ThinkPad T23 motherboard.
What actually disturbs me is: HOW DID SHE KNOW? How did she know that I'm looking for IBM T23 mobo, that, in her frauding attempt, she wrote it as the name of the 'item' I'm supposed to pay?
Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....
