Default New Ebay identity Scam email, well new to me....

I'm always buying and selling crap on ebay, I have a few auctions active right now so I got this email.

Looks legit, but why doesn't it have an item number....but either way I want to sell whatever it is, so let's check this out.
So I click on respond now and I get this...Damn look just like ebay...

but I look at the address bar as I'm about to sign in...something else.....I had gotten the please confirm your password crap before, but not this Is this item still available email....
I checked the user name, it has not been an active user, or ebay banned them a few months back.

So just don't be stupid....Check before you click....

If you don't run ****** Microsoft email clients, if you don't run ****** Microsoft-imitator email clients that accept HTML as readable format, then you don't get fooled for a nanosecond.

Forte Agent, it also makes a nifty Usenet browser.
