Always be careful... very... very careful.

 

Those that set up the spoofs  are getting very good at what they try to do... compared to many, many years ago

 

Never answer..... always check eBay or Paypal  directly through eBay or Paypal.

 

Never respond to a strange email... or click on a link... or open an attachment....

 

The attachment may contain something detrimental to one's computer....  to eBay  or...  to Paypal

 

Opening the attachment is the activation

 

 

One should also note that many strange and unusual  things do arrive in one's computer  if it is connected to the internet....  Much of this is not detrimental..   Just fills up memory on the computer

 

There is always something new being placed on the internet.... good  ... and ...  BAD

The Nigerians are still the best at internet scams.

 

That is their only claim to fame.

Got one of those German ones too. Used a translator to read the German part and immediately deleted it.
