Others may have had this one but it was a first for me...Got a message "Ask Seller a Question" through e-mail. They asked for my phone number and shipping costs to Orlando. The format was a bit different so read carefully and the item numbers didn't correspond to any current eBay numbers. So, checked my eBay messages and, lo and behold, it wasn't there. Forwarded it to eBay and, sure enough, it wasn't legit. So, be on guard for such e-mails! This one is REALLY sneaky!

I got a Paypal spoof yesterday using my full name. I always thought that was something to look out for in a spoof that it was not addressed to you by name, but that is not the case. I now forward all email messages from Paypal to spoof, just to make sure.

I wish some computer genius would create a bug that we could put on our computers and use it to reply to these scum bags so that, when they received our reply, the innards of their computers would dissolve and they, and all their future generations would be visited with the pox and pestilence!

A good reason to always check on My eBay for messages.
