Anyway basically it was formatted to look just like an ebay "question from seller" email and said something to the effect "I am a Canadian and wish to purchase several of your ebay items at same time, will you give a shipping discount for a multiple item purchase all shipped together?" when I saw this I immediately responded with the usual link in the email and it took me to the ebay login page ( or so I thought ), as I entered my ebay password I got the ebay tools warning that it was a fraudulent site and no harm was done but if I hadnt had the ebay tools installed I would have gotten burned. BE CAREFUL and install the ebay password protection tools, they work! JCO ============= Don't know why, but didn't know about the password protection tools. Thanks!
I get bogus emails supposedly from Ebay/PayPal all the time. A lot go to email addresses that I use for others things. Ones not registered with Ebay, so I know right away without looking that they are bogus. But I just delete all of them as a matter of course. I was not aware that identity thief crooks had gotten tricky enough for a bogus question from seller form. Thanks for clueing me in about that too. I'll be careful in the future. Marnie aka Doe
