A new Email Scam directed at eBay users

Ponyman · 01-04-2006, 06:36 PM

PayPal and eBay - inspite of being anti second amendment - are very polite: they will ALWAYS greet you by the FIRST AND LAST NAME that you registered when you opened the account. Spammers / scammers do NOT have access to that information!!! If you are not greeted by name, DO NOT RESPOND. Forward immediately to spoof@eBay.com or spoof@paypal.com. Hint: put both of those addresses in your email address book, with nicknames beginning with a letter not used for any other nicknames in your book. As soon as you type that first letter in the TO window, you'll be offered a dropdown choice of only those two.
