I had one last week supposedly from ebay which instead of the usual link to
click on, had a submit button instead. With the link, if you put your mouse
pointer over it, the actual address it links to is shown at the bottom left
of at least Outlook Express rather than what the link says. The giveaway of
you're not familiar with ebay addresses, is that the frudulent ones often
have an @ symbol somewhere in them (but not always). Putting the mouse
pointer on the button, gives no indication of where it leads to, and the
only way to get any idea of the origin is to reveal all the details of the
message. Mine came from an email adress with about 15 letters of the
alphabet @hotmail.com.

Forward any email you receive from ebay, Paypal or now half.com to spoof@
whichever they're supposed to come from. They'll tell you straight away if
it's fraudulent, which 999 times out of a thousand it is. They need to have
them forwarded so they can get the senders shut down and attempt to have
legal action taken against them. I know they only start up again from a
different address, but eventually they might be caught.

And don't forget that if you delete a message from your in box, it might
also need to be deleted from your deleted box to get rid of it altogether.
