Re: IML: Possible phony eBay listing

[sosmi@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I never thought to say anything at the time, but about 3wks ago, I got an e-mail, a very formal looking one, at that. It wanted to up-date, and check information, on my e-bay pay-pal account., this was for security reasons. It sounded good, it looked good,( had all the e-bay, and Pay- Pal logo's) however I have never bid on, bought anything, or sold anything on e-bay, and don't have a pay-pal account. I just dumped it as spam. But now ,you just have to wonder.Ya'll have a nice day, Dave
