I had my ebay account suspended because somehow, some little bugger listed a ton of camera gear under my name. Fortunately, ebay let me know what was up, and everything has been corrected. If you start to recieve a lot of official looking ebay emails, don't click on any links. They think that's how my account was compromised. The ebay people were very helpful.

I've been getting spoof mails from PayPal (among other sites). when I hit reply, the address doesn't go to service@paypal, and when scrolled my mouse over the link, it goes to some dudes website. Lastly,I receive these spoofs to my e-mail acct that PayPal doesn't know.
Some, as official looking as it gets, would still lack proper english, even misspelled words. The one claiming from PayPal keeps telling me my account would freeze if I don't check my account. The stupidest one is (one claiming from Citibank), "We're doing maintenance and lost your infos, please click the link and refill your info". Really, what else do you want, keys to my house and car?
