Subject: RE: Warning! EBay Fake Message
I do not, EVER, respond to a notice such as that I receive by email. Not from Amazon, not from Ebay, not from a bank, not from NOBODY!!
What I have done is do a whois lookup on various IP addresses in the headers (if you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry about -- just assume that I found out where the email came from).
The latest, a notification from Visa, came from Seoul, South Korea. Others have come from China, Egypt, and the Netherlands.
It's called "phishing".
Just click "Delete".
