Gene, This is just a modification of all the other "phishing" emails that are sent out. Don't even screw with it.....forward to spoof@ebay.com then delete. I find them irritating but also somewhat humurous due to the poor grammer and spelling. Seems like there's some guy in Nigeria (or where ever) hunched over a computer in a mud hut thinking he's actually fooling someone. They're going to get better in the future though, so watch out!

From what I hear, the Internet Cafe is the wave of the future, where you come in, sit down, spew your stuff and leave. All unaccounted for.
