i have NOBODY ...or ...ANYBODY with that ebay name as winner of any of my auctions.

is this a scam setup?....some how he managed to send it thru the ebay system...but when i went to respond to it, ebay asks me to type in a cryptic code...so i canceled the email figuring that he's just trying to get my email address.

    Scam. Delete it.

    Anyone can send you an e-mail through the e-bay system.

    Sounds like he wants your address to rob you, don't give it.

    There are many variations on this scam. Delete it. Many of these look as if they are coming thru eBay but they are not.

    Bunch of non english speaking image notice how he can't even spell weasel right he says wiseele. It's a spoof website; you log on to what you think is eBay but you are actually giving your id & password to a scammer. Foward it to spoof@ebay.com spoof@ebay.com and maybe they can get it shut down.
    OTH, you can have fun by logging in with fake info like, yourmommsaimage password 666*6869image and at least mess up the list they sell to other scammers.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Old scam going around. I've gotten quite a few similar emails.

    check your PAYPAL and see if you have any money there



    many people have more than 1 account so name might not jive with your winners
