Thanks for the warning.

You should always heed those little alarm bells that go off in your  
head (no matter how faint) when dealing with these types of  
purchases.  And, of course, if it seems to good to be true.... etc.

I have found spoof at ebay.com and spoof at paypal.com actively monitored  
to look over any suspicious e-mail you send them that purports to be  
from either of those companies (especially as they are the same  
company these days).

By the way, I just received a Christmas Card e-mail from e-bay...  
should I regard it as suspicious or would I get a lump of coal in  
response if I forwarded it to the "spoof" address?
