A pensioner was sent 12 bicycles, four boats and a luxury mobile home after a hacker spent £270,000 in one night under his name on eBay.
Horst Lukas from Iserlohn in Germany, also received dozens of tickets to rock concerts and football matches.
Mr Lukas says he received dozens of letters of complaints and even threats after sending the ordered goods back unopened.
"I am at the end of my tether. I've been cursed at in letters and emails because I haven't been in touch about my purchases or have sent things back," he said.
Managers at eBay in Germany say they will cancel the transactions supposedly created by Lukas, and police are investigating to try and catch the hacker.

Keane reveals United exit plans
Roy Keane has stunned Manchester United by revealing he expects to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.
The Irishman's contract is due to expire in the summer and it was widely assumed he would be given at least an extra year, possibly to combine playing duties with a coaching role.
"I would like to play another year or two but I do not think it will be at Manchester United," he said.
In a live MUTV phone-in, Keane has rejected any likelihood of moving straight onto Sir Alex Ferguson's backroom staff and feels it will be the end of the season before United chief executive David Gill decides whether the 34-year-old will be handed an extension, by which time it will be too late.
He added: "I would be surprised if I was offered a new contract and even if I was, I would not expect it to be until the end of the season but by then I will have already made a decision about what I am going to do.
"There comes a time for everybody when they have to move on and I am prepared to play elsewhere.
"I think it will be good to experience a different dressing room. It wouldn't be an English team though, coming back to Old Trafford and going into the away dressing room would be too hard for me to stomach."
The last statement is bound to alert Celtic, as Keane has made no secret of his desire to play for the Parkhead club at some stage in his career.
Although he is currently sidelined with a broken foot, the prospect of United without Keane is virtually unthinkable.
The fiery midfielder has been the inspiration behind Sir Alex Ferguson's side since he first arrived as a raw youngster from Nottingham Forest in 1993, making 480 senior appearances and playing a major role in almost all United's successes.

Witch wins right to declare cost of brooms
A Dutch witch has won her battle to make the cost of her brooms and spell-making lessons tax-deductable.
Tax officials finally agreed that the un-named woman could declare the cost of her overheads against tax.
Earlier, a court at Leeuwarden ruled that her witching overheads were not tax deductable, reports De Telegraaf.
The witch was a student of a witchcraft school in Appelscha which charges about £1,500 for a 13 weekend course.
Teacher Margarita Drongen said witches were taught how to make spells, prepare magic portions and heal with stones.

Prison visitor locked up
A 16-year-old girl who visited her boyfriend in prison in Austria ended up in jail overnight after guards forgot about her.
The teenager, from Graz, only expected to be allowed an hour visit with her 20-year-old boyfriend, who is serving a two year sentence for drugs offences at the Judenburg prison.
But she ended up spending the night with him inside the visitor's room.
She said: "I noticed after about an hour-and-a-half that nobody had knocked to say our time was up, and thought we had just got lucky.
"After two hours I realised I needed to get home and rang the bell for them to let me out, but nobody came. I couldn't even call my mum to tell her where I was because they made me hand my mobile in."
The pair were found at 7.30am the next morning by cleaning staff.
A spokesman for the Justice Ministry in Vienna said they would investigate the incident.

Jaci's Message after her divorce
TO ALL OF MY FANS:
For many of you the revelation that my marriage has ended may come as a surprise. Though I have been going through this sad period in my life for some time now, it has been with the guidance of family, intense counseling, and the gracious mercy of God that I find myself rising to the surface.
I wish to bring awareness to the healing and grace that can come through believing that God can work through any circumstance and as believers we can prove to the world that when one of us is in need it is the church that becomes the hand that is there to lift us up.
In many ways it is through this situation that I have grown considerably and now view the world with more compassionate eyes. Knowledge comes through learning but it is wisdom that comes through experience. In this experience I find myself beginning a new chapter in my life. A song called Lay It Down came into my life as I was working on my last record and although the writers never knew what I was going through this song was like an answer to prayer. Lay It Down is a message of hope and surrender when all of your dreams are slipping through your hands. Messages like this are the reason I sing.
Although there is plenty of healing to be done, I feel like you are all part of my extended family and that's why I am sharing this with you, I know I can count on your prayers, respect and support on this difficult times.
May God Bless you all.
Sincerely,
Jaci Velasquez

Jaci Velasquez is Divorced
Wow I haven't read bout her for a while
and when i read, she's divorced :(
all my simpathy for her of course
here's the news. the date is 22 august
Married less than two years, Christian music superstar says "the painful truth is that our marriage didn't work out."
By Mark Moring | posted 08/22/05
Less than two years after her 2003 wedding made the news, Christian/Latin music superstar Jaci Velasquez's marriage has ended in divorce.
Velasquez and Indiana native Darren Potuck were married on August 16, 2003, in Franklin, Tennessee. But their marriage later "took a turn," Velasquez told Christian Music Today in an exclusive statement.
"When my husband and I started out as newlyweds, we were like all newlyweds, wanting that dream marriage," Velasquez said. "Somehow, things took a turn and we have ended up in divorce."
Velasquez did not elaborate on the reasons for the divorce.
A Word Records spokesman said Velasquez and Potuck had worked to save their marriage, and Velasquez alluded to that in her statement.
"I sought counseling," said the 25-year-old singer, "but the painful truth is that our marriage didn't work out. I've had such a difficult time with this. My heart hurt so badly that I felt like I wanted to crawl under a rock and just die. I can't say that I have ever felt such pain before. My heart literally felt like it was breaking in half."
Velasquez referenced "Lay It Down," the second radio single from her new album, Beauty Has Grace, to describe what she's now experiencing. The lyrics to that song include these lines: "All of my hopes and my dreams and my best laid plans / Are slowly slipping through my folded hands."
"I am learning how to live out the words of 'Lay It Down' daily and experiencing God's love, grace and mercy like never before," she said. "My God is so awesome, I can feel him lift me up every time I feel like it's all too much for me."
Velasquez further said she has not discussed the divorce "because it is clearly too painful. I am still in the healing process and ask for your prayers and consideration for my privacy."
In a 2004 interview with Christian Music Today, Velasquez had described her husband as "the greatest, the funniest, and the coolest guy you'll ever meet. … Any girl wants a guy that will be hers forever, and that's how I feel with him."
Velasquez, a Grammy nominee and multi-platinum selling artist in both the Christian and Latin markets, recently moved to London, but is still making appearances in the U.S. She will appear at the Soul2Soul Honors 2005 event August 26 in Louisville, and she will appear at a Nashville Hecht's department store August 27 in support of the M·A·C AIDS Fund.
She is currently working on her next CD, an all-Spanish for the Latin market. Velasquez is also the founder of her own Christian music label, Apostrophe Records.
Her divorce is the highest-profile divorce in Christian music since Amy Grant's 1999 divorce from Gary Chapman. Grant—like Velasquez a Word Records artist—later married country music superstar Vince Gill.
After Grant's divorce became public, many radio stations stopped playing her songs and many Christian retailers refused to stock her albums. But Grant has made a comeback in Christian music circles in recent years, especially with her two hymns albums, Legacy (2002) and Rock of Ages (2005).
Regarding Velasquez, a Word Records representative said the label is "not concentrating on radio or retail sales. We love Jaci, and we're concentrating on Jaci and helping her work through this."

Ouchhhhhhhh
Farmer 'breaks' penis
A newly married Romanian farmer fractured his penis after ogling his young wife while carrying a heavy sack of grain.
Farmer Gheorghe Popa, 52, from Galati, had been moving the grain sacks to the barn when he stopped to watch his 25-year-old wife Loredana hang up the washing.
He got himself over excited and dropped the sack on his erect penis, snapping vital tendons and ligaments.
Doctor Nicolae Bacalbasa said: "It was a bizarre accident, and he was in a lot of pain.
"We have done what we can for him but he may never regain use of the organ again, at least for sexual purposes."

taken from Manutd.com :) go MU!!!!
Ferguson: Rooney Will Be Vital At Anfield
Sir Alex Ferguson is confident Wayne Rooney will return to making headlines for his football ability after a week where the 19-year-old's temperament had been called into question.
Rooney was sent off against Villarreal on Wednesday in the Champions League Group D opener. But, on Friday, his manager was keen to go against the tide of media attention that has been afforded to the striker's fiery nature.
"He will put in a good performance on Sunday because that is what he's capable of," Ferguson said confidently. "He's been doing that all the time for us. He's always been a fantastic performer for us."
The United boss knows the prodigious talent he has under his wing will have to learn to deal with the media spotlight similar to the likes of Roy Keane, David Beckham, Eric Cantona and George Best before him.
"It's quite simple, he's such a high profile player. We're not surprised by the media focus on him. That's the way of the world and the nature of the press. They did it with Gascoigne, Beckham, Cantona and Best."
The positive aspect is that Ferguson is no stranger to dealing with combustible characters.
"We'll handle the situation because we have the experience to do it," Sir Alex said, though clearly not wanting to over-play the issue. "We're not going to get into that [analysing Rooney's temperament in public]. It could just go on and on."
Rather than the heated Anfield atmosphere having an adverse effect on Rooney, Ferguson believes he will thrive on it.
"It's the kind of atmosphere that good players respond to. It's a derby game against Liverpool and it is always an exciting event.
"I love this fixture," Sir Alex added. "Manchester United-Liverpool games always offer an incredible stage for the players to perform on. The atmosphere will be electric at Anfield. It puts players on a real edge for the game."

Mini Skirts?
Mayor Wants To Regulate Mini-Skirt Length?
BUDAPEST, Hungary -- The mayor of one Budapest district wants female City Hall staff to wear miniskirts only if they have "completely perfect legs" and the skirts are no shorter than 2-3 centimeters above the knee.
Gabor Mitynan, a conservative who runs the city's wealthy 12th district, also wants male employees to wear blazers in summer, saying the dress code was needed because he had seen staff dressed like beggars or holidaymakers.
Mitynan also dislikes tube tops – popular in Budapest – saying "few women have well-trained bellies worth showing to people", and wants the city to legislate on stocking thickness, proposing 5-10 denier for summer, 15 for spring and autumn and 20 for winter.
Mitynan is a rarity in Budapest's 23 mostly liberal and socialist districts, so his proposals stand almost no chance of being passed by the city assembly. Liberal Budapest Mayor Gabor Demszky described the proposals as "crass", according to the state news agency MTI.

What thieves do... :p
Thief hid phone up her bum
Romanian police caught a female mobile phone thief by dialling the stolen phone - and hearing it ringing from her bum.
Police in Iasi stopped Petronela Brandus, 24, as she tried to get off a bus after other passengers said they saw her steal a mobile phone.
But after a search failed to find the phone, police decided to call the number to see where it was and heard a muffled ringing coming from under the woman's dress.
She was taken to a local police station where a strip search by female police officers revealed she had hidden it up her bottom, local daily 7 Plus reported.
Officer Madalin Taranu said: "We've had people hiding things in their bras and knickers before, but this was a new one.
"The station doctor extracted the phone and we sprayed it with disinfectant before handing it back to its owner."

Interesting news
Party aims to ban marriage
A new political party in Sweden says it will abolish marriage if it gets into power.
The Feminist Initiative, which expects more than 20% of the vote in next year's election, claims marriage "is not about love, but about ownership".
FI founder Tiina Rosenberg, said: "Instead of marriage we want to promote a co-habitation law that ignores gender and allows more than two people in a partnership."
But she said in allowing relationships to involve more than two people, the FI did not want Sweden to fall back into a "patriarchal structure" with one man having a harem of women.
"A man who lives with eight women in a patriarchal structure, where the man decides and the women obey is not what we are aiming for," said Rosenberg.
And in order to encourage men to vote for them as well, the party's all-female board is also calling for the introduction of a six-hour working day.

Wanna go to hogwarts? Check ur money account :))
The cost of a magical education
Currency experts say they have worked out the value of galleons in JK Rowling's Harry Potter books.
Travelex reckon each gold galleon is worth £5.01p, or 7.39 euros, making Hogwarts an expensive option.
Kitting out young witches and wizards for their first year at the school would cost parents about £1,700, just for the basics.
That means a magic wand would be £35.08 and a superior broomstick, like Harry Potter's Nimbus 2000, would set you back £1,503.
Saskia van Opijnen, director of Travelex, said they had based their calculations on JK Rowling's books and on interviews with the author.
Opijnen said: "This is the first time that we have dealt with a currency from another world. Magic money is a very sturdy currency that could assert itself on the international money market."

Dead or no?
Man lost job for being 'dead'
A Romanian man returned from his holiday to find he had lost his job because he had been declared dead.
Valentin Lefter, 20, from Focsani, said he was shocked because he'd only been away for two weeks.
He returned from his summer break to find a letter from wine-bottling company Prodecam Vanatori.
"The letter, addressed to my wife, apologised for my passing away and said any outstanding payments would be sent to her within the next month," said Lefter.
When he rang company bosses, they apologised and said the letter had been sent out because of a computer error.
But they said he could not have his job back because they had already employed someone in his place, reported local media.
He now plans to sue the company for £10,000.

That superman
Superman spotted in Serbia
Serbian authorities are investigating reports of a real-life Superman after people claimed to have seen a cloaked figure flying over their houses.
Hundreds of residents in Ljubovija described seeing a cloaked person flying above buildings "as if he had an invisible engine on his back" and changing directions while in mid-air, local daily Blic reported.
One local said: "It was like something out of Superman or Batman. No one has any rational explanation for what we all saw."
Police in the town have refused to comment.
