Imagine that, all I have to do is provide my credit card # and paypal info and all my problems will be fixed.

Sad thing is this email looks very legit - w/ebay logos etc...

Some folks are gonna turn over their credit card info

Hey dbax, maybe you should send that ebay's way, and let them know. Ya know send them all the header information and what not, and let them get a heads so maybe they can cut it off before too many people fall for it

aol has a lot of spam like that, but i think that ebay cares more about their members.



i got one of those ebay emails, but the link didn't work :( i knew it was fake, i just wanted to see how it was set up, and what nasty information i could put in there.

For $19.99, along with a $1.51 lunar tax, you, too, can buy an acre on the moon or Mars. Hope even will send you a deed. If you don't like it, he gives a 30-day, money-back guarantee.
lunar tax???

"uh yeah, the wife and I won't be able to get the funds to built a cottage on the moon. i'd like my money back."
