I received the following message this morning, complete with ebay logo. It is written in an awkward style, reminiscent of "Nigerian" scam letters. Since BB members seem to visit ebay frequently, I thought it prudent to bring this up.
Hans
P.S. - I don't even have an ebay account!

SCAM SCAM SCAM. They're trying to get your eBay ID and steal things in your name, or at least send you spam.
Forward the message to eBay under their "abuse" area and put the crooks in jail.
Best regards.

Big scam. Forward to ebay at spoof@ebay.com
Notice the poor grammar; probably someone with ESL. Ken's advice, as usual, is right on!
