Since we have no doubt the powers that be down at the world's favetat bazaar will move rather more quickly to remove this auction thanthey do to act on iffy vendors, here's the accompanying text:
Quote:

Here we have two CD-R's for auction. They are not blank, but seem tohave some sort of database written to them. I found them in my localcourier firm's sorting office, addressed to
"Her Majesties Audit Office - Child Benefits Section" and marked
"Sensitive HM Government Information - DO NOT LOSE - ENSURE THESE DISKS DO NOT FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE CRIMINAL FRATERNITY"
They were obviously surplus to requirements.
I haven't read the data myself. The database appears to haveapproximately 25 milion records in it, but is password protected, so itis impossible to read it and it's definitely impossible to extract anybank account data from it.
Any information that you might discover (should you be lucky enoughto win the auction for these useful items and read the databasethereon) must be kept in the strictest confidence.
0.99p start and no reserve, so grab yourself a bargain. All profit from these items will be donated to Sue Ryder Care.
Cash on collection ONLY please from Portsmouth PO8, since we wouldn't want these to get lost in the post!
PLEASE NOTE: Government departments should contact me by emailbefore bidding, since they will have to be vetted for competence beforeentrusting such items to them.
Nicely done. And coming soon to eBay: One unemployed formerChancellor, will accept any reasonable cash offer, contactGordo@no10.co.uk
