Laughable Ebay scam email. Here's what I got

I got this email and like to read them to make sure if there is a link
or not. Link means Ebay did not send it and so that's one way to tell
if these things are legit. Read this and see if you can spot another
way to show it's not legit (there are two things....) NOte, the link
is missing here because of the cut and paste.....

FIT : Fraud Investigations Team : case 1281 / 2005 .


Creating a safe, well lit marketplace is priority #1 for eBay's Trust
& Safety team. When people break our policies, violate consumer trust
and the law of the land, eBay and PayPal work with law enforcement
throughout the world to apprehend and prosecute fraudsters. Our
diligence in this area is evidenced by the arrests that are made and
the trust that is built both within the community and with law
enforcement. Most importantly, we do this without compromising our
commitment to our member's privacy. eBay, Inc., has established a
Fraud Investigations Team (FIT) to promote safe use of our platforms,
and to collaborate with law enforcement throughout the world to
enforce policies, prosecute fraudsters and help keep our Community
safe.

They used "U" instead of You... something Ebay won't do.

Another thing is the link. If you go into the code, or in this case
cut and past here and the lnk disappears, it tells you where it the
email will be directed too.... and it's not Ebay's customer service
area!!!!
