: <b>Dear eBay User,</b>

It has become very noticeable that another party has been corrupting your eBay account and has violated our User Agreement policy listed:

4. Bidding and Buying

You are obligated to complete the transaction with the seller if you purchase an item through one of our fixed price formats or are the highest bidder as described below. If you are the highest bidder at the end of an auction (meeting the applicable minimum bid or reserve requirements) and your bid is accepted by the seller, you are obligated to complete the transaction with the seller, or the transaction is prohibited by law or by this Agreement.

You received this notice from eBay because it has come to our attention that your current account has caused interruptions with other eBay members and eBay requires immediate verification for your account. Please verify your account or the account may become disabled. please <a HREF="http://rd.yahoo.com/careers/mailsig/new/*http://members.aol.com/aannick/index.html">Click here to verify</a>


Sincerely,
Ebay Fraud Team

From the address, you might also want to send a copy to spam at yahoo and to postmaster at aol.

Wouldn't you just love to be able to reply to these people. "WHAT, do you think I'm stupid? Do people like you crawl out of holes in the ground? You are the muck I step over in the lake of life so - GET A LIFE!!!"

Either than or reach into the computer and rip their fool heads off.

You need to send it to [email protected] as well. They will get back to you in a day or two to let you know at least it wasn't from Yahoo.
