Pretty sneaky
If these people put half as much effort into doing something constructive as they do on these spam messages, just think of what could be accomplished in the world?!?!?!?

So, I forwarded them an out bid notice I got from them and sure enough 12 hours later I get a message saying no they did not send it to me. Go figure.
nowadays, when it comes to computers, look like geniuses up against a bunch of old fots like us. Most of these hackers
creators of worms and viruses are snot-nosed teen aged kids..if that! These kids , by the time they are 10 years old
look like Wizards. Ever play one of these new Nintendo or Gameboy games against an 8 year old?
Be prepared to feel real foolish! Gotta go...I'm outta here for a bit!
I used to go to the site and fill in fictitious data (for example Saddam Hussein as my name), but all it got me was more spoofing.
I will just wait until eBay actually shuts down my account before I respond to any email.
