Sorry for re-posting old news then, ladies and gents. But I guess a refresher can never hurt, right? This is the first time I've received anything in regards to the previously mentioned.

The misspellings are a cue, also. "choise" but to "temporaly"

Never click on or answer anything like that type of email .... log onto your eBay account or PayPal account for that sort of message to see if it is legit. Point your cursor over the address that they want you to respond to ... you'll notice a different URL than either eBay or PayPal. Most of these scam attempts come from Russia, therefore, you may see .ru .... somewhere...
