Hey, almost fell for this one today as it came to my email.

I clicked respond now, to see what the guy was talking about and found that the ip address is not ebay's. Close call, just warning you guys.

Here is what it looks like (have to click it):

If it says "dear member" then its a fake. Send that to [email protected] they will look into it.

ebay has a message section in it now ...if they want to contact you they will use this most times ...,and never click on a link in the email ...type in the adderess yourself and check it out

What I find funny is I changed my email addy with ebay, and I'm still getting email from "ebay" at the old email addy. These guys try too hard.

I never respond to any email ebay or the hack jobbers send to my email. The only time I will respond is in "My Ebay". Then you KNOW there legit. But yeah, I can't see how these dudes can sleep at night. Theres these honesty box's with Mints in them at resturants here in Mn. and I remember one time when I was younger I put in .10 instead of the .25 for a roll of mints, and it bugged the hell out of me..lol.. Some people just dont ahve ANY morals these days.

I clicked one to see what the crap was, since I suspected it was a scam. Ping! Virus scanner started going off about a trojan horse program attached to the website.

As been said here and everywhere else time and time again, eBay and Paypal will address you by name and will never ask for personal information via e-mail. When in doubt check your messages at my eBay or type in the url for paypal yourself and log in. Always send to [email protected] or [email protected] , any little bit of info they can get helps try and catch these bastards.

Andy I know what you mean...when I was modding my escort I went and dropped about 2000 at the local hod rod shop......when I got home I kept thinking I got off easy...I was expecting like 3800 when i went in....I realized they gave me some brake rotors at 150 apeice and the custom intake tubing they made and 1 seat ,all were not on the ticket....new counter girl.......I actually went back and paid the difference.....all I kept thinking was I AM NOT driving a car w/ stolen brakes on it....sorry just can't bring myself to trust it.......all that was about another 1000, they dropped 30% off for coming back....
