Not sure I would put so much blame on ebay. I am amazed by the spoof emails I receive trying to get oney out of me one way or another. I mean, I know this stuff pretty well and still some of them cause me to stop and think for a while. Just got one "from ebay" the other day saying my credit card was about to expire. The only signs it was fake were that I know the expiration date they listed was wrong, but how many people know that right off the top of their heads, and I noticed the "date of notice" said 8/28/06 but it wasn't sent until 9/12/06.

So many people pulling scams. It's amazing.
