I just heard from Ebay that this is yet another spoof. Scary:

YIKES! I am so sick of these scum bags! I am getting too paranoid to even click on a "PayNow" button in a WBN...that would be a very easy way for someone to glean passwords!

I think it's about time that ebay dedicated more of their millions of $ to tracking down these lowlife scammers. There's got to be a way.
They can't be doing much. I almost never read about these people getting caught.

I got some. They even sent it to my old email. So I sent them back with all the information they wanted but with nasty words and a whole bunch of numbers, everythihg all mixed up.. and then blocked them out of my email list.
