Two big mistakes the slimeballs made. One, I don't use an eMail client that supports HTML coding, and two they sent it to an eMail address I don't use on eBay.
For those who do use an eMail client that supports HTML, this may look legitimate, so be on the lookout for it.

What goes through a moron's head when they attempt this crap.
BRian.
The problem is that they won't get caught. The IP address traces to RIPE, which means they're overseas.

I may be watching too much Law and Order.

Is overseas. Likely that the domain registration is a bogus name and address.

No good deed will go unpunished.

Russ, I don't doubt your assertion that this points overseas, however how do you know that? By the first number??
Plug the number in to the submit query box. If the company is legit, the slimeball must have spoofed the address.
