"You got my $500 2 weeks ago and there is no response from you .. I reported you to PayPal and if you don`t answer in 2 days i will contact FBI.. "

I received this email in my personal email inbox which alledgedly came from ebay. It looks a lot like an ebay generated email however it's a phishing scam. Clicking on the link back to respond will enable the perp to steal your ebay login and password:mad:

You need to forward that e-mail to spoof@ebay.com and they will take care of it. I get e-mails like that quite often.
