I thought that I'd seen that name "donderou" on the ebay forums, in connection to 2nd chance offers. My brother gets them all the time. I've received them, even when I haven't bid on anything!
The scammers that send out these 2nd chance auctions all seem to be located overseas. Anyway, when you google the donderou at aol.com address, you can see that it links up to a number of 2nd chance frauds that have been talked about on the ebay forums and elsewhere.

Thats my auction. What a load!! John was the winner and the marble is on the way to him. Just the other day I was looking at new listings and somebody was using my pictures from a ended auction. I emailed him and he pulled them. Thanks for bringing this to our attention Bo.
