Dorkkarl, did you forward it to eBay? they like to close these down as quick as they can.

hey pushkin!

sinin1, yes i did. the actual email looked very convincing, & appeared to have been sent by "aw-confirm@ebay.com" even if you did a "reply" to it.

I got a similar email that you had to click to go to any "ebay site" and enter your info. Well I did it and wasn't very lady like. I am sure someone who read it chuckled. In nice words I told them they sucked.

I've been getting these every day for the past week or so.....they look official, and there was even a post on the eBay announcement board stating something similar. Scamming b*st*rds!!!!
