I received the following spam email.
It looked OK with a genuine Ebay Heading etc. There were lots of links, which I ignored as I guess they were trojans.

Payment has been sent, gave you the proof of payment and I still have no item, this is the last day I am waiting, if I won't get it, I'll report you to Police and Paypal. . Thank you.

Marketplace Safety Tip Keep your money safe - never pay for items with cash or instant money transfer services, such as Western Union or MoneyGram. In the past some sellers have exploited these payment methods in order to defraud buyers, so eBay has banned them from the site. Received a Second Chance Offer email?
