    i would forward it to them. I forward every spoof e-mail from ebay onto them.

    HTH  :)

    Have forwarded it to Ebay. I really hope people don't fall for this scam. Its awful.

    I get one or two of these a day and they have now started coming from 'PayPal' too.

    Send the ebay ones to spoof@ebay.com and the PayPal ones to spoof@paypal.com
    I'm so sexy it's a wonder my underpants don't explode.

    myself and my husband have both had these "e-mails" from e-bay, i just forward them to SPOOF@EBAY.CO.UK.
    the other day though i had two e-mails from "paypal" stating that i had sent a payment of $278.99 for an item and also that i had added an new e-mail address to my account, all i had to do was follow the link. i immediately went to paypal itself and found that they want you to forward these e-mails as well, the address SPOOF@PAYPAL.COM. hope this helps someone.


    Absolutely gutted about Paul Walker - RIP xx

    Another one to look out for is that you are a "non-paying bidder" Again, this is a fake. Follow advice as above..

    Its also a good idea to change your password frequently on both eBay and Paypal.
