Well, if nothing else at least they are consistent! They spelled "Please" wrong every time.

1. Ahhhh...the joys of cut and paste....

Make sure you send that to the real ebay, so they can track these idiots.

[WillParkinson]

2. Already done

I even wrote "Well, it's good for a laugh if nothing else."

I don't even HAVE an E-Bay account for that address.

3. Be very careful - Ebay told me when I got taken

that they NEVER send these emails.

[WillParkinson]

4. Even if they were to send these E-mails...

I'm sure (well, pretty sure) they'd use a spell-checker.

[BlueJazz]

5. Geez...Get real, WillBowden.

I think you're in deep trouble.
From the E-Mail, I believe Ebay is not going to let you buy any more Coconuts..... (acconuts are a close relative of coconuts).
Damn, I thought everybody knew that! :)

11. lol! very funny. :) nt

[amber dog democrat]

6. I was getting Citibank requests like this too

the woods are full of them.

[RebelOne]

23. Yes, I get the Citibank ones regularly.

[amber dog democrat]

24. are your mispelled too?

Mine are not from English speaking sources. As a very stupid move, I clicked on one of the links once, typed in GW Bush as the account name and a stream of zeros for the number, now I get all kinds of un wanted stuff in my junk mail folder.

Should have known better.

[WillParkinson]

25. On mine...

I typed in "I'm not THAT stupid" and hit send.

7. don't under any circumstances click their link or give them information ..

about your account. Every one of those emails that look like they are from ebay asking you to go to their link and update your personal information, is fraudulent.

Click "forward" on OE or whatever email you are using and forward the entire email without changing anything in it to [e-mail]

Ebay will reply to you and confirm that they did not send that.

[WillParkinson]

8. I know they didn't send it...

The spelling is atrocious (at best). I got one last week that pointed to a different website completely.

[Loonman]

9. Sacm scam scam

Give them no information.

[WillParkinson]

10. Even if I wanted to give them info I couldn't...

The link doesn't work (another spelling error) and I don't know what an acconut is (except maybe the relative of a coconut as RadicalLiberal suggested...)

[ET Awful]

12. Don't forget to all informations complate enter :) :) :)

LOL . . . this is one of the worst ones I've seen yet :)

[WillParkinson]

13. Funniest thing....

The site is redirected from http://www.maluta.pl which is a dairy in Poland!

[Loonman]

14. That's where your info would be stored

If you gave it, so a hacker can retrieve it and sell it to an ID thief or Credit card crook.

[Richardo]

17. ATTENTION WillBowden: All your acconuts are belong to us...

:)

[WillParkinson]

15. Must be my day for weird e-mails SPAM...

Now I'm getting stuff about Israel/Palestine in my [e-mail] e-mail account.

[emulatorloo]

16. forward it w full header info to [e-mail]

eBay needs to know about this.

[teach1st]

18. You click a link to the accounut

Brother had an acconut, but it had a kink
His sister had an e-bay account, and she got a link.
She clicked a link to his acconut, she mixed them both up
She clicked a link to his acconut, she mixed them both up
She clicked a link to his acconut, she mixed them both up
She clicked a link to his acconut, she called her banker, woke him up,
And said, Banker, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Banker, to mess with this awful fake?
I say, Banker, ain't there nothin' I can take,
I say, Banker, to mess with this awful fake?

19. Its NOT Ebay. Its a scam to get your information .i.e bank account

or Credit Card. forward it to Ebay and forget it. :)

[HEyHEY]

20. Accounts "Managent"

I'd be careful, perhaps this is some kind of scam

[WillParkinson]

21. No it's not!

It just means that it's managed by gents.

<giggle>

[jmowreader]

22. This is called Phishing

Fill this form out and someone will buy a whole shitload of stuff with your credit card.

Have ya ever noticed that when eBay loses your account information, they always lose your credit card number? They never, ever seem to lose your telephone number or your sock size, but damn those credit card numbers are slippery!
