Just because it has your email doesn't mean it is not a scam they Jerks have figured out a way to get by that as well. They ask you a question on what you have listed for sale. then they search the reply for your email address and if they find it. They send you and email saying they are complaining to eBay about something you have done that is wrong and it will get you kicked out of eBay so there and they give you the supposed item number you have listed problem is it goes to a scam address. Then it asks you to log in. it looks just like ebay but it is not. My anti Virus Software has paid for its self again. For those of you that do not have AVG software. Check this place out for anti- virus software and spoof proof software also does hacking software and a dozen other things it helps prevent. I have no interest in this company other than they have saved my butt a dozen times this year alone. It is at www.grisoft.com . Every time I come up against one of these type of scams it jumps up with big red warnings all over the place telling me it is a scam. so I know then it give me a way to get out with out getting clobbered. I mean it has all the same respond buttons and  items that look just like they came right from eBay. I mean if I wasn't always suspicious about anyone saying this kind of thing to me. I might have fallen for it. I would say 6 out of ten of you might fall for it. If you are curious what one of these looks like and how it works go ahead and contact me via eBay and I will send you a non working copy of this one so it will not work but you will see what looks like a good message from ebay and just how easy it is to get suckered in. Now to be able to have me send you a copy you will have to first off Vote for this Guide. and second send me a message via eBay I will tell you the name of the email I am going to send you. I will send you a non working message so you can see what they send out and then at that point you can tell your friends about this item and hopefully you will then delete it. but I have to have your message on file asking me to send you a non working copy of this. I do not wish someone to try to set me up and then tell ebay I just tried to spoof them  so here it is you are all hopefully warned. please be careful dray
