If you check the source in the .html email, Brian, you can usually spot these kinds of frauds quickly because the URL that's actually linked to vs. the one that's displayed won't match to an ebay URL (they're often various IP addresses, different host names, etc.).

I reported it, so we'll see if anything happens. Doubt it.

I know some Acaeum have had this happen before...but this is a first for me and I have been on ebay for almost six years.

Gro - who is Brian?
