Default Bozo Scammers

I got another one of those fake eBay emails today from someone I supposedly dealt with and was wanting me to respond as to why "I" left negative feedback. Now, I have to give the bozo credit. It looked exactly like a feedback email that eBay sends except for a couple of flaws. 1) not all of the graphics came across in the email. There was nothing there but the red X. 2) and the BIGGEST screw-up on their part, they showed the "member's" stats. Keep in mind. He said that I left him negative feedback. If that were the case, it would show in that person's stats. Nope. It showed that he was a member in good standing with 100% feedback. hmmm... supposedly, I left negative feedback. Go figure. :-) Like I said, it was a very good fraud, but it had flaws if you looked for them. Also, I moused over the respond button and it didn't even mention eBay in the URL. LOL I feel sorry for the uneducated people that fall for that scam...

Yeah, I got one yesterday too, for "unpaid" items "Bakelite figure" or
something like that. Since i know I didn't bid on one, I ignored it.
