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.

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!!!!
