Just received the following spoof. It is the first time in a year I have listed anything related to Ebay motors. I have not answered any "Ask a seller a question" mail, so how the heck did I get on their spam list?

I have started forwarding all the spoofs to:

Federal Trade Commission at [email protected]

You can contact them at www.consumer.gov/idtheft* or 877.IDTHEFT (877.438.4338).

I was told to do this by one of the banks that I received phish email for so the FTC can research the email origin. Why can't these crooks get caught and serve PUBLICIZED time in jail? Is it because they are in another country?
