eBay and PayPal are huge targets. Most of those spoofs are being sent by
infected pc's and smartphones. There really is nothing to investigate as most
of these spammers and scammers are overseas.

The number of scams targeting car buyers is frightning. They used to use eBay
in their phishing scams but now are concentrating on Amazon to hook naive
suckers. https://blog.ebaymotorssucks.com/9680/amazon-payments-car-scam-2014/

Oh well.. as we say in the car business.. There's an ASS for every seat.. LOL!
