eBay Spam

Monday.

I got this junk this morning. It's got all the links at the bottom that make it look genuine. If you get one just bin it. Where would I be without MailWasher Pro? 48 emails so far today - 42 marked for deletion by MailWasher.

I'll bet you do. Trouble is that the email address you spammed is not the one I use for eBay and I'm not very impressed by "provide required informations" or by "We appreciate your support and understating". But I did like "Do not respond to this email, as your reply will not be received."
