eBay spoof

I think they harvest e-mails off of usenet and mail them
to everybody via spambot programs.

Be careful what you say.... spambot can mean "spam killer"
(not spam producer) bot.

In spite of all the bad guys, we still have some good guys
who are gate keepers for us in the news groups.

I "assume" that you expanded and included the full
header information in your forward. If not then it's
useless. Even with the headers, chances are nothing will
happen. YMMV

I did not. I followed eBay's security instructions which
were simply to forward it as is. They can expand the
header as well as I can.

Have you ever tried to expand the headers of forwarded
messages (often at least a full page of them if no one has
bothered to delete) that you receive?

If you haven't tried to expand the header of the person who
sent the message to the person who actually sent the message
to you.... try it sometime.

are spam cos i do not have an e-bay account.

Same thing happened to me, but they also wanted to know
my bank, account nos., SSN, as well as my username and
password in eBay. Like I'd even have given all that
informatin to eBay? I don't *think* so.

I forwarded the whole thing to eBay.

So what do you expect them to do? Contact the FEDs on
them? If they had a round file, I'm sure such forwards
would be there. If you're lucky, at least they log the
complaints.

Actually, Ebay requests that any member who received such an
e-mail forward it to them for investigation. Report
Suspicious Email to eBay To report email requesting account
information that you suspect was not sent by eBay send us
the email with the complete message text and full header or
forward the entire message to [email hidden] using the
forward function of your email program. When forwarding the
message, do not change the subject line, send additional
text, or forward the message as an attachment. Forwarding
the message in this manner will allow us to review the
message headers and any other information that may be
attached to the email.

eBay has an interest in tracking down this sort of thing,
as it can affect *their* business. They *request* that the
msgs be forwarded to them. This is not like complaining to
your cable co.

I'll tell you right now, when I send you an email with a
photo or something, I will write something in the body of
the email which describes what I'm sending and why. That
way you know it's from me. If it doesn't have that
personalized little memo from me, chances are it ain't from
me so delete it.

what kind of photos you got, jill?
