That last line at the bottom wasnt supposed to be there but didnt show up until I'd already posted... so... just try to ignore it.
I like the "wich" in the body of the email. Very professional.
We had a an employee actually get suckered into one of those phishing schemes. We in the office were just like "how??"
A mod should really edit out that link at the bottom so people dont click on it (clicking on it with a windows pc will allow you to gain the newest, most up to date spyware available
It simply went to the real ebay.com site with a page not found error.
Just in case some people don't know...FORWARD your false Ebay emails to: "Spoof@ebay.com". They will investigate it and get back to you stating if it came from them or not.
