Spoof emails...

We get  a lot of spoof emails, as I am sure a lot of other eBay members do.

eBay have actually set up a reporting email specifically for this at spoof@eBay.com 
We did receive one this morning telling us that we can get 70% off FVF's, so I was already straight away thinking that this has got to be a scam, as eBay are never gonna make an offer like that to a registered business seller.

It took me 2 seconds to check and it definitely was a scam phishing email. So I forwarded it to the eBay spoof email address as I normally do, as I want to do my part to help combat this kind of fraud.

10 seconds later, I get this reply:

Really, the spoof email address is rejecting emails that are classified as SPAM!!

Come on eBay, please take a look at this as that is just ridiculous.
