[Elecraft] Way OT - eBay - HELP

[Charles Greene]

Geoff,

My advice is to not respond to them.  I get about one messages a 
weel, saying my paypall account is on hold, or answer a question from 
a buyer on ebay.  They are what is called Phishing, and they are 
trying to get your personal information or account numbers.  Hold the 
mouse over the response address, and it may say that the real address 
is something else.

I agree about eBay and others being Computer Black Holes.  If they 
really want your response, they will send your a letter via the 
postal service.  Mostly, do not worry about them.  They make enough 
money as it is.

Best,

Your friend, Chas, W1CG
