   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!
