Default eBay email scammers "Please be careful"

Just a warning guys and some pics

I received this email to my Microsft Outlook email client which didnt get pulled through spam, anti virus, or adaware



Ok so it looks almost genuine to the untrained, however I picked up on a few things, firstly I always buy and pay instantly on eBay so I dont owe anyone monies, secondly the Respond Now button as a blue box around it, looks odd.

So rather than risk clicking on any links in the email as Im dubious this will be a virus link etc, I logged onto my eBay account and searched for the user "scottish213" whom according to the email has 150 feedback, and the eBay user has Zero feedback!



Anyway I was only highlighting to you fellow friends and members to aware
