You can forward it to spoof@ebay.co.uk . Here's a link to eBay's info and advice on fake e-mails.
I got a strange message which arrived in my junk mail folder recently, saying
(the bit I put in blue was a link in the e-mail, which I didn't click).eBay Unpaid Item Dispute #140046593148 - response required
Dear member,
eBay member bpmedicalsupplies21 (1275****) has that they already paid for item #140046593148
Review the submitted details regarding the payment.
Regards,
eBay International AG
As far as I am aware I have never dealt with that eBay member, and certainly did not sell or bid on the item (100 pairs of plastic forceps!)0
