Hi there,

Instead of making a new guide for every one I’m just going to continue to update this guide every time I receive a new spoof email from fake eBay accounts.  Spoof emails suck, they clutter up your inbox, they're just annoying.  Remember to sign in to your eBay account only through the eBay home page, not through links in an email or instant message.
