I have been an Ebay customer for a few years.  In the last several months I have been receiving fake emails or spoofs every other day.  The most recent one was a guy who said he lived in Pennsylvania and the email address was in England.  He is asking, with bad grammar and spelling about when I am going to deliver him some hubcaps and that he will be out of town for 4 days.  

I report it to Ebay Security and request action.

As a result, I am suspended!

Of course, now that Ebay has become too big for its britches, it has no telephone number to call.  And, the emails are not yet drawing a response.

Sounds like your email did get some action, you got suspended.

Ebay sucks.  I thought that was well known?

Yep ebay has gone downhill.  Within the next decade they will either clean up their act or file for bankruptcy.

Ebay go bankrupt?

They have to be the biggest money laundering operation on the planet. They probably have the biggest income per dollar spent on overhead in the world. Assholes they are though, no doubt

They probably just found out you post on arfcom.

Sorry, game over.

Forward the 'suspension' notice to spoof at ebay dot com and see if it's the real deal.
