If this has been covered before, apologies for the repitition, but it seems Ebay scammers come up with new angles all the time.
This morning I recieved an email with the subject line " Message from an Ebay Member regarding item number #7713864284" from a sender just identified as an eBay Member, not including their Ebay handle. Naturally being suspicious, I neither clicked on the item number which would bring up the auctions, or respond as any attachment or response might include a bug or virus. I checked with Ebay by inquiry with the included item number and it came up blank, no such item listed.
