sheldonm Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I got one of these spam emails today saying I didn't pay for something that I never bought (or received)......I wanted to respond with a F$@% You, but didn't. m~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontooneous Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I hope you've forwarded it to spoof@ebay.com. Resist the temptation to respond. It simply opens the door to more bad e-mails, because if you respond, the phishers know they've reached a valid e-mail address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 ..I wanted to respond with a F$@% You, but didn't. m~ Good move 'cause at a minumum you've got to go with "F$@% You and The Horse You Rode In On!!" to get people's attention these days. Stop being so diffident! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereojack Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I tried responding with a "f#$% you" and a "kiss my ass" only to be be informed that I had entered an invalid password! Best to forward these things to the spoof departments at Ebay & Paypal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank m Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 For the first time, oneof my credit cards was compromised. Many kudos to the people at the card company who picked it up and called me. My wife and I still had our cards, which had never left us. They killed the old card and issued us new ones. Picked up local paper and found that it is a countywide problem on eastern Long Island. Watch it out there, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
