I'm sending it on to spoof@ebay ... when i hold my cursor over the 'helpful links' part, it shows the start of http://www.qmile.com.ph .... that would be Philippines, right??? ......... not to mention, ebay would no way give away a Viper right after ticking a lot of sellers off with the fee increases.

Not a new spoof . "EBAY" phony car giveaways have been going on for years. The make and models do change however.

Looks like the Romanians are at it again. Answer the email and tell him you don't need a car, but you would be interested in a laptop computer instead
