    As far as I know, any e-mail dealing with eBay or Paypal that begins with "TKO" is a scam.

    Got the same one last week.

    Forwarded to spoof.

    The "TKO" was a dead giveaway to me.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

  • 113% of all emails that "appear" to come from eBay or paypal are scams.

    Everyone who has ever posted here about "is this email real", the answer is ALWAYS no. If you actually suspect the email is real, open your browser directly, type in www.ebay.com, and click on MyEbay and look for messages.

    This is for any scammers reading this message board: here's a great idea for your new scam emails - find people who've just won auctions, then send a "you've just won" message exactly like eBay does with the "Pay Now" button to link to your scam site. No one ever asks if those emails are real, and if anyone did ask, I'll bet a lot of people here would respond that these emails aren't scams since they're *expected*. This is the reason people shouldn't even ask this type of question on this board, you may get the wrong answer - login to eBay directly and find out for yourself.

    Not trying to be a jerk, really, just trying to be helpful.
    Varieties are the spice of a Type Set.
