Another spoof!

AuldFartte

Both are scams. I've received several.

Keyrock

Yep, got a similiar one but it mentioned the ebay/paypal merger and my account needed to be updated blah, blah, blah......

Wil

I've received them before too.

Spoofs...

Cameonut

I got both as well. Seems like I get 3 or 4 a week now. I just mark them as spam and vaporize them.

The people that send this junk ought to have their fingers chopped off.

Boom-

You better answer those right away. Just follow the link in the email and be sure to give them all the information they request.

If you don't you'll get canceled and won't be able to buy or sell on eBay.

You only have 72 hours, so you better hurry up.

nankraut

IMHO, both messages are fake, scams:frown

MFH

Scam written all over it.

Boom

Thanks fellas, I always turn them in to spoof@....... Actually I posted them in the hopes they might spare some poor, unsuspecting newbie. Relayer, I can always count on you for a good laugh! I do believe you missed your true "calling"!

GAT

How many times do people have to be told thet eBay, Paypal or your bank will never ask for sensitive information via Internet? I get this crap plus 2-3 viruses a day and just delete them and never give them a second thought.
