i've been finding TONS of phony ebay (and some paypal) messages lately... what i'm wondering is, what gets someone targeted for phishing, is it random, or what?? i've of course forwarded them to the spoof email addys ebay and pp have, but my hotmail junk empties quickly and i don't check it often. is it going to be a problem if don't see them to report them, or what? should i check regularly to see if there are any? and hey, never thought i'd say it, but hats off to my hotmail acct. for finding all the lil buggers and keeping me clear of them!!

Hello, and I first have to tell you that I have been on eBay for 3 years (the last year serious), but, I am still learning and I am not at expert at anything, but here is my two cents on this subject. I notice that spoofs comes in cycles--either I get many of them or they lay low for a while, then crop up again. And, they are so professional at what they do you must be sure that you don't answer them until you know!! I do try to forward them to eBay or Paypal, but, sometimes I can't because of time! Best of luck to you.
