Always check for challenged spelling. If you have time to kill, look at the message source and trace the IP. (It's usually a proxy though.)

I actually got a variant of this a few years ago when I was using MSN to chat with my daughter when she was travelling. Suddenly this other user pops up and starts telling me about a bank error that needs to be corrected and please supply my account information.

Made me wonder if anyone is actually dumb enough to believe a bank would communicate with them via instant messenger.

These run in spurts. Sometimes you get several a day and then a dry spell. Try giving them a false SS and false info and let them waste time trying to figure it out.

Anyone else out there get these? I've ignored them all because I know where I stand with my ebay account (I collect books) but it seems that these scam-mails just won't go away. . .

Dime a dozen tactic. Insert your favorite website name here kind of thing that script-kiddies employ. Easily defeated if you use your brain and read the pivacy statement on most sites. Most say they will never ask for your password via email, etc.

A great way for hackers to get your password.

"Acconut" reminds me of coconut.

If you're going to try to scam me out of my money, at least try to spell correctly.

I think this is the most vile of all the Spam I've seen. It goes way beyond irritating. I've received them tons of times supposedly from Ebay, PayPal and WAMU bank - they even rip-off their graphics so the first time you receive one it actually looks legit. All those places mentioned above have an email address to forward this garbage so I would encourage you to do so. The addresses to send to start out with spoof@(Ebay, PayPal, WAMU or whatever).com Check their sites for more details.

These, and the ones from PayPal, are pretty sophisticated and pretty nasty. I can see old ladies falling for these (if old ladies actually used ebay and PayPal).
