MarkyMannn Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Virtually any time I do an Ebay / Paypal transaction, even with them now hiding user names, I get some BS e-mail's trying to scam me. Just ignore them.
bbb Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 I've been waiting for you to pay for the watch for 9 years now. I figured it was time to move on and offer it to the 2nd place bidder - Michael P.

Sincerely, PayPal Account Review Department security@paypal.com www.paypal.com I checked my account and there was no activity - haven't used it in years, so I reported it to them as a stinking phish. I purposely broke the email link so none of youse would click the linky.
