I believe someone had also registered paypai.com and was sending "You've
got Cash!" emails to everyone at one point. It'd be nice if companies
like paypal that touched you that intimately would PGP sign their more
important [non-spam] emails.

I've gotten something similar to this, from paypal, about a month ago.
The text was different, but the underlying statements (corruption of
account info, log on here to fix it...) were the same. It had graphics
from paypal's site, but the links that were of any real consequence went
to a paypal-esque domain that was not theirs (and was actually offline
by the time I read the email that morning).

I received the email following this (headers included) on Saturday. It's
pretty clear to me that EBAY didn't send this and I've informed them.
However perhaps the text outside the obvious formail header is a pretty
good attempt to deceive, pehaps there should be more a more widespread
warning.
