I haven't seen that one yet, but I constantly get one from some sh** head claiming to be from ebay and wanting me to update my paypal account info. Glad you were smart enough to spot this B/S.

Ahaha, I got the ebay one the other day. I sent them an email back saying that I was the police department and that their server, ip address, and information had been obtained.

probably not good to have that link on here, someone might accidentially click it.

but I get those emails all the time, they are just phishing attacks hoping you will log in and giv up your personal information.

Help stamp out those suckers - when you get a phony Ebay or Paypal email forward it to:

spoof@ebay.com

or

spoof@paypal.com

They appreciate knowing who is "fecking" (love it) with them and, I assume, they actually do go after them.

You need to contact Franklin Mint and forward that e-mail to them so they can put their internet security team on it.
