WTF? How could anyone possibly fall for this obvious phishing attempt. You'd think these idiots would at least spell check their crap and put the $ sign in the right place.

Dear eBay customer ,

Due to our new services ( spam guard , ssl encrypted connection , paypal upgrade , etc ) you have to pay your eBay fees ( 9 $ ) .You can pay with your credit/debit card .We will charge your account with the ammount of 9 $ . However you will receive a confirmation request in about 24 hours after the credit/debit card is authorized .

You have 24 hours from the time you receive this e-mail to complete this eBay Request. You might experience techincal problems with the SUNTRUST online merchant (our new security partner) , might receive The SG alert as the online merchant is hosted on the SUNTRUST domains for now . We will update the SG webclient shortly to recognize SUNTRUST as a legit eBay subdiary website .

For its 9th birthday , eBay will reward you with a refund of 200$ in the next 3 days and if your credit card is authorized , for being a top 10 eBay customer (seller / buyer) , eBay will enroll you in the 9th WINasmuchasuEBUY contest where u can WIN 10 000 $ or a splendid Dodge sv .

Note : Ignoring this message will cause the Suspension of your account . To reactivate it you will have to pay a fee of 350 $ .

you can tell some russian or european scammer wrote it
because they put the $ in the back of the number instead
of the front.

that's if you'd overlook the fact that it's poorly written

I would laugh more at those who fall for the Nigerian scams. :2 cents:

I got 3 or 4 times a plishing email with my eBay username on it.

The link was ebaymember.info or something like that.

Well I'm sure 99.9999% don't. But even at that rate if they send out 50 million e-mails, it only takes a few idiots to make it profitable.
