[Boatanchors] Fake messages.

[K6SDE]

Ken,

10 seconds of looking on ebay.com produces:

"To report suspicious email: 
1. Use your email program to forward the message to spoof at ebay.com. 
Important: In order for eBay investigate your report, you must forward the
email without adding attachments, adding text or altering text. 
2. Once you have forwarded the email, you can delete it from your email
account."

Looks like they don't like your e-mail ISP or there was an extraneous
character that crept into the address.

Ian, K6SDE
