A poor attempt.

Forward to spoof@ebay.com, so they're aware of it.

Anything that starts with "Hi USER" is garbage,,,,,I just hover the cursor over the email and it shows where it came from. Most of the time it's an .edu email address and never the same. Good thing is that they are so common I just ignore all of them and send them to the spam box

Unfortunately even terribly obvious phishing attempts like that one fool some.

Seems it’s the holiday ruch to go phishing. Netflix is another.

Netflix can be excused anything due to Peaky Blinders.

So many grammatical errors that I would know right away that it was fake. These clowns should at least master the English language if they want to rip people.

anyone stupid enough to fall for that...
