Last week I think it was JOAT that posted a warning about a ficticious eBay email that asked him to log into his account to "verify" it. It was a scam from someone trying to get his credit card info. I get these all the time too as I assume most of you do, but the one I recieved today just seemed too funny not to share. Below is the text of the note. They were able to get about every other word right.

Whats really scary about this is that I bet there are some people that actually did it.
