ive had random ones like that, not the usual phishing ones that are after your login/account detials.... one for the spam/junk mail button me thinks

The item doesn't appear on fleabay, but if you search for it you can see the email has blatantly been sent to loads of people - as the user's ebay name comes up in the associated search list lol lol

If you reply with abuse then it bounces back.

My delete button gets a lot of work.

I've had "receipts" for paypal payments for all sorts of things - most recently a ?1400 toshiba laptop. Just shun anything like that, its all poo.

Problem is, if you reply to it, you've confirmed the mail as read and replied so your account is flagged as active and you get sent more spam.

Its funny, my mate's gmail account where he uses his surname + initial @ gmail.com is overcome with spam; yet my gmail account - which is my username plus a bit extra - has had not one bit of spam since being created over a year ago :D
