Default Re: Deal of the Century

NEVER respond to one of those phony eBay "account verification" e-mails! It's called "phishing" and the crooks are just trying to hijack your bank information. The crooks do the same thing with Pay Pal too (eBay owns Pay Pal, by the way). If you have any doubts about an e-mail from "eBay" you just forward it to the real eBay e-mail address for phony stuff: [email protected] and they'll confirm it's a scam. I get those phony "verification" e-mails about once a week.
