Here\u2019s a warning about another scam, claiming to be an eBay invoice (eBay doesn\u2019t do monthly invoices, and the e-mail address from which it claims to be sent is billing@eby.com<\/a> rather than an address at eBay.com<\/em>). The link provided fortunately doesn\u2019t seem to work, but it doesn\u2019t lead to eBay\u2019s web site but to http:\/\/csccog.org\/cal\/includes\/eBayISAPI.htm That is the site of a church, which is particularly disturbing. Do they know what someone there is up to?<\/p>\n

At any rate, this is the important point: Don\u2019t fall for this!<\/p>\n
