I submitted one as a spoof to PayPal. The return came back saying that whenever PayPal or Ebay sends an email to you, the opening greeting is with your Ebay account name, not Hello or Hi.

Last year in one week I got 3 of em. The spelling on the e-mail address was the giveaway. Of course other stuff too.

I've had a couple, I have forwarded them to ebay and paypal, their response made me wonder why I bothered. They send propaganda back and tell you to vigilant and on the look out for these type of things and to report it to them!!
