I like to bid on eBay at times, and I know some of you do also, and
some sell there.

Earlier this evening, I got the below e-mail. I was a bit
suspcious, first because the link asked me to log on. So, I checked and
it hadn't gone directly to eBay. Went back and checked closer, and
found some suspicious wording.

I reported it to per their instructions, and asked
it it had actually came from them. As it turned out, no, it did not
come from them. Below is a copy of the phoney e-mail I got. If you get
a copy, you should report it to eBay.
