Sometime if you get a email to look real ebay . If you click fake ebay in then post on smokstak. They can click it and the scammer collects everyone's user and password for your financial status.
Always type ebay.com in your address bar. This will be your safe side. Even fake ebay has low archive listing serial number. If you already click fake ebay site . Change your ebay password immediately!

I suspect it may come from Nigerian or Ghana scam. It could possibly stole from Craiglist or else. They are looking into your financial information. Go figure. Let us know. I'm on way to search.. Note: I would assume it be copied from the internet site. Too much Googling.
