I know we have quite a few threads about eBay email scams but it's always a good idea to point out new ones.
Received one yesterday that is new as far as I'm concerned. I get the VERIFY ones all the time, but this new one is great.
Test - YOUR ACCOUNT WAS CHOSEN ACCIDENTALLY. PLEASE VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT INFO OR YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE DROPPED FROM OUR SYSTEM.
Has all the proper insignias and headers. The really hysterical thing is their choice of words. CHOSEN? Could they possible have meant CLOSED?
If these idiots are going to try to scam don't you think they could at least find someone who knows at least a bit of English so they don't look completely stupid?

Now that I have complained about the senders of the scam emails looking stupid I notice I misspelled "text" and possibly". I think I need a refresher course on my typing skills!!!!
