*** Yet another spoof scare tactic. ***

If you get one of these just send it to spoof@ebay.com.au.

DO NOT CLICK ANY OF THE LINKS. ( I have modified the link so that you cant click it unknowingly)

It is a phishing email with scare tactics

No it didn't have my eBay name only my email address.

That is a dead give away, all the same though only a VERY few people know that email address and it is not an easy one to guess.

I do not sign up for things willy nilly so I am at a loss to understand how it could have been gotten hold of.

It is beyond the scope of email spiders so it must have been gotten hold of by someone I have dealt with :( and that concerns me
