EBAY spoof

I just got a email supposedly from Ebay telling me I had an unpaid item for
Chilean money notes. Not sure what the value was because it didn't bother
to include that information. Guess it wanted me to click on it to find out. :oops:

I don't even have an Ebay account anymore and it had a funny looking "trademark" symbol
by the word "Ebay" which looked pretty much like the real thing. I just marked it as
spam and didn't open it.

Stuff like this aggravates me greatly.

Hardly worth noting something like this: eBay, PayPay, any major bank--even the IRS--they're all subjects for these scam e-mails.

Yeah, clicking on their links would be a bad idea.

I don't even open ebay/paypal emails. I go to the site to see if they are in the my messages. Some of those emails have loggers that you activate just by opening them.

I used to click on the links and type in
"Fuck You" as my name
and "Asshole" as my password.

I'm afraid clicking on the link will infect my computer with a virus.
