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.
