Noit sure about this one...
Just had an email purporting to come from eBay offering me to become a Powerseller. Very strange since I buy a fair bit, but have only ever sold one lot on eBay.
The email comes from [email="'aw-confirm@ebay.com'"]'aw-confirm@ebay.com'[/email], so looks to heve been sent by a 'user' who has withheld their email addy?
I couldn't check the links in the email (*to see if as usual it goes to a forged eBay screen) since me email strips them out.
Guess it could catch out someone who sells a fair bit.
Clever b*66ers, eh. Watch out!!!
Of course, I could be completely wrong!

No, this is a scam, forward it to spoof@ebay.co.uk and delete it, as per my reply on the 'Anything Else' board.I'm so sexy it's a wonder my underpants don't explode.0
