Wasn't Bobby Williams one of the Brady Bunch kids?
The grammar is atrocious in that so-called eBay email.
People who fall for this email never admit it, so we'll probably never know, but it is possible to be locked out because of an relatively small number of bad password attempts.
The time it happened to me, the eBay rep said that there had been fewer than 14 attempts to enter my password. He strongly implied that it was probably innocently done by someone who has a similar eBay id.
That could be what happened to you.
Our motto: Bright and shiny baubles for persons with low impulse control.

Dang nabit!! After 5 1/2 years on eBay, why can't get a spoof? I am really getting paranoid, I feel that I am being left out of the loop. LOL

Barry Williams played Greg Brady. There was a Bobby Brady.
Barry Williams wrote a book about The Brady Bunch. The biggest tell-all of the tame book was the 'date' with Florence Henderson. He says the goodnight kiss was quite passionate and she says it was a peck. I think she's the one with the wrong story.
