eBay sent this message to me@thewrongemailaddress.
Your registered e-mail is included to show this message originated from eBay.
-Actually, doofus, you just proved you are not Ebay and this message didn't originate from Ebay and is a scam. I didn't register with Ebay under that email address but it is one of my other email addresses.
eBay confirmation form
Dear eBay user,
-See, you don't even know my username over there. You would if you were from Ebay.
We would like to inform you that we have released a new version of eBay Confirmation form. This form is required to be completed by all eBay users.
-I call bullcrap.
Please follow these steps:
1.Open the form at http://cgi.ebay.com
-rest of url deleted. Look, Ebay doesn't have urls like that, it's obviously a malicious cgi script; and no real company sends email out telling you to click some obscure link, much less to a wrong email address.
No, I don't want your stupid malware or to give you my userid and password. Go away.
