Default LOL! another Ebay "response" scam!

I get at least 3 of those per day. I also get the one from "paypal" saying
that another email has beed added to the account...please verify. You may
know this, but many don't... When you get anything suspicious, hover your
mouse over the link they want you to click, and look in the bottom left
corner (outlook express). If the url shows anything but the outfit they
claim to represent, it's a scam.

So I lsot a boat auction, and never fails, here comes the
scam/spoofers.

I just got a "Response from Ebay Member" letter, asking me for more
photos of my auction. funny, I've never auctioned off anything. and
over in the right hand column i get this:

"Isthis message an offer to buy your item directly through email
withoutwinning the item on eBay? If so, please he! lp make the eBay
marketplacesafer by reporting it to us. These "outside of eBay"
transactions maybe unsafe and are against eBay policy...."


They type worse than I do!

So I sent it to . and Ebay or Safeharbor will send me
their usual "we're on it!" type of letter.

amazing market place.
