Got an ebay spoof this morning.

If it's not covered by one of those other categories, you should probably talk about it here. Be nice.

Hahaha...any good crook should know that E-bay wouldn't say "eBay will request personal data (password, credit card/bank numbers, and so on) in this email. "

Well, it's just the stuff in parentheses that makes this sooooooo stupid. Hehe.

Hopefully they'll get a good thrashing for these attempts.

Okay, I'm amused.
