I know this goes without saying, but don't click or open or pay attention to anything you get from ebay or paypal concerning your account.
I just got this e-mail from paypal this morning; I assume some other's out there might get it as well; hoping you read this before you give these goofballs your acc info.

I got one or two of those emails. I was pretty suspicious, mainly because I don't (and never have had) an email account or paypal account. Those crafty Nigerian scammers will have to come up with something better then that to swindle me via teh internets! 12/5/2005 2:26:07 PM |

Yeah, I have gotten like three of these every week for months... If they were real, I suppose my account would have been cancelled. But it hasn't... 12/5/2005 2:40:55 PM |

If it were real it probably also wouldn't be so weird and sketchy. They also probably wouldn't send that e-mail to people who have never had eBay accounts. 12/5/2005 2:43:17 PM |
