Thanks for posting this. I get at least one per day, plus another for 
PayPal, sometimes many more than that. I report these to eBay and 
PayPal. I also click on "VIEW" then "MESSAGE SOURCE" to find out the URL 
of the bogus link in the message and then I use a program called "Sam 
Spade" to identify the source ISP of the bogus link and report the fraud 
attempt to the originating ISP.

Most of these come from Asia Pacific Net or Eastern Europe.
