Dear seller,,
Are you still interested in my item?

Thank you,

Was curious so I clicked the link. Was asked for my ebay ID and password. Ebay usually remembers my details, so thought it was strange and didn't enter any details. I did a search for the senders ID on ebay, and guess what? It's not recognised.
I get loads of spoof emails purporting to be from ebay, but this is the fist time I've seen one like this and I think it's pretty clever. Anyone else received this one?
