OT- Another eBay hoax email

[Thomas Stathes]

Hi Guys,
Check out this email I just got from "eBay." It was sent to my address which is NOT registered with them, so it definitely is a hoax!

Hi Thomas,

SPAM and "phishing" like this is a constant, daily nuisance. This one is no different than the hundreds (thousands?) of similar such variations floating around the Internet.

Your best advice is to just ignore SPAM entirely, delete it and move on. And of course, never click on any hyperlinks provided in an email no matter how "authentic" they may look.

I agree, Mike.
I get others from eBay but this was more of a direct contact of sorts.
These pathetic people have too much time on their hands!
