The subject says correctly (referring to an earlier purchase)
"Please pay for your Plummers Routing Cable".
But the body of the message gets weirder.
Before you read this, note that my name is not "peter scott" and my
userid is not "godzikiplus" and I never bought a Suzuki solenoid.

Hi godzukiplus,
Thanks for your recent purchase on eBay! Please remember to pay for your
item so that the seller can ship it to you as soon as possible.
Thanks again for shopping on eBay!

And there is no eBay UID: "godzikiplus",
unless you altered it, or eBay has nuked the account.
Was the listing real?
Have you Messaged the seller?
If someone could fake an eBay email with this
apparent level of credibility, I'd expect the phishing
to include a lure more likely to generate income.

Same here.
In the last three weeks I have been experiencing similar weirdness.
Receiving messages that arrived through the eBay system. Apparently
people were receiving invoices for items they had not purchased.
I have received six messages from confused eBayers. I strongly suspect
that eBay's message system has a problem.
The interesting thing is that the messages were not addressed to the
people who received them. I contacted the person who sent the message
to me. They were apparently real.
I changed my password and that seemed to solve the problem.

I'd say they "shook a server" and a bunch of old, stuck
crap flew out. It used to happen at Prodigy, years ago.

So, for any users who sailed into AMOE in years past
and complained that their EOA, invoice and/or reminder
notices weren't going out ...
... don't, worry,
they will :)

Register and tell him how well eBay is keeping his information
confidential. Also remind him to pay for his starter solenoid!
Yup. This one looks to be from December 2008.
It's obviously a follow-up to a one-time buyer....who
later did get feedback. Look at who it's from.
I'm surprised "genius" Iggy couldn't figure it out.

I noticed signs in the parking lot at Target yesterday.
***
ATTN CUSTOMERS
Our shopping carts will not work if removed from
the parking lot. The perimeter is protected by an
electronic security device that will render the
carts inoperative if taken outside that perimeter.
***
I looked at the carts pretty close. I can't see
any kind of device or circuitry. But as I rode
my bike around the local washes, I saw lots of
shopping carts, none of them Target.
It either works or the homeless bag ladies are
duped into believing it.

In theory when I print a shipping label via PayPal I am supposed to
receive an email so far I've printed about 5-6 thousand without
receiving one.
In addition I don't receive copies of messages sent through the eBay
system. I contacted eBay about this and got the reply:
Dear Dung,
Thank you for writing eBay in regard to the inappropriate email you
received from "---------".
Dung, thanks so much for responding to our request for more
information.
Unfortunately, we didn't get some of the information we need to move
ahead.
Please reply to this email and be sure to paste the entire message
from
the seller -- including the "header" -- into your reply. The header
looks like a string of nonsense characters, but it will tell us where
the email came from.
For help finding the header using your email program, go to:
http://www.haltabuse.org/help/headers/
Please don't include the seller's email as an attachment. We're not
able
to open attachments for security reasons. As soon as we receive this
information from you, we'll investigate further.
I suppose the greeting made it perfectly clear what they thought of me
and my question.

Those Target, plastic carts, didn't work well for me anyway -

It is actually godzikiplus (I did not alter that), but it seems that
that name is not a valid one either.
i
Your sarcasm would be much more appropriate, had it not been applied
in error. The date of the original email is, clearly, Nov 27, 2009,
per every header line involved.
It refers to something that I purchased a few days ago, and the sucuki
solenoid auction is also the one that closed recently.
I would love to admire your brilliance, but you gotta give me some better
reasons to do that.

Move to Colorado Springs. Along the river, right through
town, you can build your own cart city and blue-tarp palace....
along with hundreds of others.

I've got that sign on my car.

Hey Kris, are you trying to stay silent, hoping that nobody would
notice your little gaffe?
Come on!

I got an email with that subject title this morning.
Fellow from Canada said he had the solution to
my little gaffe problem.
Um, that was a "giraffe", not a "gaffe"

Really. We were quite surprised to see it in Colorado
Springs a couple of weeks ago. Then we remembered
that Colorado gives their homeless free bus tickets to
Utah.
Sometimes, a tent IS your home...and you like it that

Was that canada ending with .ca or .cn?

So, explain, how did you conclude that the email that I posted was
sent in 2008?
