The same thing is done with Ebay and Paypal as well. Good lookin out bro. Anytime I get an email like that I close it and go directly to the real website and log in from there. This way if the message is real it will be on that site.

When I sell things on Ebay and they send me these emails about they want to give me 300 bucks for something that cost 150 bucks, I send them very violent "I hope you burn to death & Go phuk your mother" type sh!t and they don't send anything back.....

Make sure when you get the Ebay types that you "forward" the email to [email protected] for evaluation, and then delete.
