Just to clarify a bit... It is my understanding that when you
"report" a spoof to either ebay or paypal, you don't actually say
anything in your forwarded stuff. Just be sure to forward the suspect
email WITH full headers, without any comment. HTH

Yes. The misspellings are a giveaway--one of the major newspapers
reported on this scam, and commented on the irony that such a clever
ploy would be riddled with bad spelling and grammar. For the eBay
scam, you can forward the e-mail to and ask eBay to
authenticate it. Of maybe six I've forwarded, all have come back as
spoofs.

I've gotten similar e-mails from PayPal imposters, but PayPal doesn't
seem to have as simple a method to authenticate as their parent
company, eBay. There's purportedly a PayPal web page that permits
reporting, but at the time I last tried to use it, it led to a
circular series of links that yielded nothing but frustration.

I received something similar this morning, though it seems to be lacking
in the 'requier'd misspelling department. I've left out the un-visited
link they sent along just in case.

bogus???
