Anyone ever get one of these ebay scams?

It can't be anything but a scam, though for the life of me I can't figure out what they're trying to accomplish - for me to send them my info? Any thoughts? Here's the email I got - neither the "buyer", nor "seller", nor item # are valid.

  • my guess is that if you click on the link they provide, they are able to extract some info from your puter

    I delete all this spoof E-mail supposedly from eBay and Paypal as soon as it's received. Never bother to forwarded it as I have found eBay and Palpal spam me afterwards with form letters.

    Received one of those eyesterday at an old email address that hasn't been associated with my ebay account for over two years. I usually send a reply back and tell them to try harder.

    This one got me the other day....I did a short reply that it must have been sent to the wrong email address.

    That sounds most logical, bushmaster8. Too bad for them I don't click on such links.
