Bruce,
Here is the most prevalent email scam on the web right now that nails people right and left, especially EBAY customers. Totally bogus email wanting your account information for PAYPAL. Looks pretty legit doesn't it? Biggest clue to the invalidity of the email is that it isn't addressed specifically to the customer by first name and last name as is PAYPAL standard format. Creates a sense of urgency and the people panic, go to the bogus site and enter their information. Boom, they have your money, but worse than that, your identity.
