This looked exactly like a message thru Ebay.
I went to MyEbay, and it wasn't there.
I wish there was some way to catch and prosecute these scumbags.

    IMHO, never open---just delete all these types of messages and move on. I used to forward them to "spoof@ebay.com; but, I don't think they ever do anything other than give you a "boilerplate" response. image

    That's good, why would he be sending the money while the listing was still active? Don't you usually pay for auctions after they END?

    Yes I know that it is a fake email but I thought that blunder was cute.
