New spam email almost got me. I got this one today and nearly clicked on the link, which of course did not take you to the address listed but instead took you to a website that infected your computer with a virus.

I got that one too and had to laugh when I read it. If someone was making purchases under my login, I would be able to see that in my bid history. :roll: And what is a "false purchase"? I hope they start prosecuting these losers! :evil:
