It is so funny that some people try to steal information from me and then probably money.
I received this morning a message from eBay telling me that there was some unusual activities with my account on ebay but one of the problems is that they kept spelling ebay, eBay, and the salutation of the letter was dear [email protected] instead of my real name dear first name. These people must have thought I would be dupe. At the end of the message they tried to scare me by saying if I do not respond I will be responsible for all fraudulant activities to my account.
The problem is that I dealth with ebay once, and I am not totally sure it was them. I bought a video game from some online people and that was 8 years ago. It is too funny that they think they can scare me enough to get personal information out of me.

Don't you hate it when people spell companies' names correctly?

They were probably conservative spammers.

And I bet they prefer women who are in good physical shape.
BTW I thought your thread subject was a challenge at first. Disappointing...
