its crazy how often people fall for this type of scam.

I have heard of people selling items through ebay, and receiving a confirmation of payment recieved email...from a random user address. Rather than go into ebay and check, the seller dispatches the item, only to find out later on that it hasnt been paid for....


ALWAYS check the sending email address for anything related to finance. If it doesnt mateh, like the one above, report it to the proper site.
