The ConsumerScams.org team stumbled across this scam email in our inbox. Funny that OUR consumer scam reporting inbox received the scam message, not from a fellow consumer, but from the scammers themselves! They are making our job too easy.
In our screenshot below, note that we looked at the properties of the "click here" link. It appears to direct the user directly to an FTP site and auto-logon. Who knows what they send back to your computer at that point? Odds are it is a virus since they are using the FTP protocol. Do not click the link, and immediately delete the email!
Here's the scam email:

Yes I get these all the time but only a really stupid person would accept it as real.I get scams from supposed ebay everyday but know they are scams and if I am uncertain I contact ebay and they straighten it up right away telling me weither it is a scam of real,this is the best thing to do if in doubt check it out with ebay or paypal if you have an account with them.
