I just got an ebay scam email which linked here:

http://ebayupdate-ebay.com/

I suggest everyone sign in with rude comments like I did. Let them know we're onto them.

I also forwarded the info to fraud@ebay.com

eg:

Login: f*ckoff
Password: Youhavebeenreported

Then on the next page:

CC number: 5555555555555555555555

Name on card: S*ck My D*ck

I'm rather rude to these people (as you can tell).

aw, I guess my FBI/hello wasn't too original...

Considering most of these guys are in Korea or Bosnia I doubt that they're afraid of the FBI. I wholeheartedly approve of the name calling though.

I just read this same one (subject line: WARNING: Verify your Comcast account. ID: toyedbowler)
"enormous attempts?" Excuse me? Hard to fall for this crap when they get your addy wrong, misuse the language, then have a bunch of crap in white. Idjits.
I hope these people die right now, and I hope I caused it.
