I received this email on the 3rd (see attached file). I couldn't copy it and paste it into here. But while trying to do so I noticed two things one the entire email is a link and two there is some kind of hidden text on the bottom of the email only visiable when I left clicked and dragged my cursor over it in an attempt to copy.

I have no idea what it means but it reads like this:

"not at all Where can I make ITN in 1831 Don't worry But I don't Right, thank you. frtyIUX QxtzwmLTTiC DF

Fantastic! may close in 2002 725 City name Or 4 Are you? 135 I'm in the know of... Well, we've got

on that? in 1807 in 1824 let me see... in 1993 in 1809 Amw in 1899 it"s for you. O.K. great. Hold on On the whole in 1806"

So needless to say I am thinking this is not ebay.

Also the sender and subject were:

From: eBay [usersupp@eBay.com]; on behalf of; eBay [user-line17@eBay.com]

Subject: 0fficial Notice for all eBay users

I would report that email to ebay. scgi.ebay.com does not appear to be the proper extensions of ebay. Don't go to that site and enter your information.

I wouldn't ever do that. Someone I know had his account stolen by one of these kinds of emails. Also I tried to go to the site but got a page not found error or something similar.

Thanks peterdragin I'll do that.
