eBay spoof email floating around

Got this one today. Pretty obvious it's a spoof or "phishing" email but i thought i'd post it anyway to warn others.
(very poor spelling and grammar)

    I received it also. There's also a lot of paypal scam email going out lately.image

  • Have to admire the scam's honesty - "This link is unique and made for you"
    Every day is a gift.
  • With all the computer technology today I can not for the life of me understand how Ebay can't shut these guys down. I get about one of these a week.

    Got tired of sending them on to Spoof@Ebay.com. I just delete them now.
