Very common I get those all of the time. If you put your mouse over the link on the original email you will see the real address that the "ebay" link will take you to.

Problem is of course that there are still people who fall for this. Otherwise they would not bother to send the emails anymore

Why are there so many people in this world who are c*nts. Hopefully one day we will shoot them all at birth
