This was a superb spam email from SafeHarbor, or at least that is what the header said.

My account will be suspended because I misrepresented myself, bla bla bla.......Please fill out the form below to verify you are the owner of the said account, bla bla bla........

It used to be links they would use, which of course would direct you elsewhere......this time, the embedded the web page in the email.

Very clever! But, still a fake!

JERKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you---thank you very much-------Richard.

    No damn wonder! With bidders retracting bids, sellers cancelling auctions and non pay bidders running free until they screw THREE sellers, how hard could it be to figure out that this is a haven for idiots?

    COMMON SENSE is the rarest item on eBay.

    I seem to get about one a week from Paypal or Ebay.

    They all want my info. I wonder how many fall for these?

    Send them to-Spoof@paypal.com or spoof@ebay.com

    Who knows they might even catch someone one of these days.image

    Just heard on Nightly Business Report tonight that there are multiple scams like this. They just arrested a 16 year kid for scamming over 600 using a "fisher" email where he fished for CC#s, PINS, etc.

    His punishment? $3,500 fine and 1 yr probation.

    If I were the judge I would put his parents on probation and make them pay punitive damages to every victim.
