<p> I was immediately suspicious especially as it didn't give the sellers name and I knew I hadn't bought anything that I hadn't paid for. I copied the auction no. and did a search which of course came up invalid. I could have entered my details in a panic to find out what it was. Luckily I didn't. The wan*/@% are getting more cunning. Be careful!

Thanks...this might be the message my "paid by cash" customer received from PayPal. I e-mailed him about this possibility and only hope he didn't fall for it and send all the info...

CRAZZZZY spoofy emails y'all are getting today .... we must all be vigilant to watch for these sort of things .... God help the people that are clueless and worry and click on those links .... their life will be turned upside down.
...... just today at our fam picnic I was talking about all these "spoof" emails (i always thought 'spoof' is supposed to be something 'funny'?, but these are surely not) ......... i was saying that I get numerous ones, every single day, and that i am tired of 'forwarding them' .... and just lately, i only forward MAYBE half of them, other half "delete" ... ... it's like, 'hey, i got work to do, and ... i got a life' ... 'i don't have time to keep forwarding all of these, when APPARENTLY it isn't doing much good.'
