I get these phishing/spoof e-mails pretending to be from paypal and
ebay all the time. I usually forward them to sp...@paypal.com and
sp...@ebay.com, respectively, before trashing them. They usually
send an acknowledgement of the forward and a few minutes later a
confirmation that it was indeed a phishing thing and a promise that
they'll do what they can to track do the bad guys.
