Spoof emails are a growing problem which eBay can not seem to stop. I'm sure, like me that many members receive spoof emails on a daily basis.

What do you do with your spoof emails and how many do you receive on a daily basis?

I simply forward them to ="mailto:spoof@ebay.com">spoof@ebay.com. I get tons of them on a weekly basis.

It makes me wonder where they come from.
I set up a new email address, before I could even use it, I received a spoof ebay request for payment.
I have sent some to spoof @ ebay and to be fair they've replied and confirmed they are spoof. Mostly I just trash them and wonder how on earth they think someone is going to fall for them. I've lost count how many times I've been reported to the FBI for not paying someone :lol:

What happens when you put the phishers URL in the box on phishfighting.com?

PhishFighting.com wrote:How many phishing emails did you receive today?: I receive 5-10 emails a day that are supposedly from real companies like Paypal® asking me to click their link and enter my login, password or other private information. These are fake sites created by criminals. I'm tired of the emails and offended by the fact that they are trying to steal from me. So I've decided to strike back and YOU CAN TOO.

Just enter the Phishing emails REAL url above and watch as realistic looking, fake, entries are continously sent to the Phishers fake site. The criminal will receive hundreds or thousands of fake entries and he won't be able to tell which are fake and which are real.

I usually get about 3 or 4 emails a day asking me to update my information. You got to be a sucker to fall for that trick.
