I can not believe it , This is still  around after all this time and effort people have put in to shutting this spoof down and people are still looking up this auction number. CAN"T ANYBODY TRACK THIS IDIOT DOWN.

Spoof emails have been being sent out for over 5 months on auction # 6436472319. If you receive 1 of these auctions, PLEASE do not respond. They look very official but when you look at the line To: in the header  it states "None". And please note that there is no user ID's use in this current round of spoofs. Here is what the body looks like:

                   Marketplace Safety Tip

I strongly recommend (if you receive one of these to) check my ebay messages first. you will never see them listed there. And report these people, (please copy the header  and send that also). Please note how unprofessional this looks like  (no capitols and of course no sender's name (you really do not think they would have the guts to sign there name).
These spoof senders have used some user ID's of some honest people on ebay and I personally feel that  most all ebayers' have been contacted at least once and if more people would report these people who can not use the system honestly  just maybe they would be stop.

If you have something I missed or have something to add  send it along. Do not forget to take a second to tell me if you thought this was helpful or not.

Thanks for your time in reading my guide and please feel free to contact me through ebays' message system.
