Hello princesswalkeshwar_in1,

I request all members for forward spoof mails to spoof@ebay.com so as to enable eBay to work with CERT and ISP to prevent this source from sending spoof again.

The best way to approach Spoof is to install Tool Bar and not enter any Personal Information. – Read more Security Centre

Dear princesswalkeshwar_in1
We are all thankful to you for sharing your concern.
Its indeed a huge problem and more often than not many Ebayers do get trapped.
Though we all understand that you put the entire content of the spoof mail in its entirety ,
for the good sake of the community,

But dont you think .. you made a small mistake of also including your email address and name in the contents of the post ,
which may be an added invitation for people to futher target your email address
Best protection for spoof mails is self help.
If i am in the shoes of a spam lover .... what more do i need , i have your ebay id , your name and your email address and from your ratings i see that you are a good seller ....
Any body who wants to spoof ... his eyes will lit up immediately.
So guys please use your own as well as other's information with added and extra care ... its good for everybody !!
