How stupid, eBay spoof

[rwise]

I bought a Harley through eBay, get an email today at work (not the addy I have listed with eBay) with payment instructions, and I'll pay the freight! Thats $883 less than what I expected to pay in shipping alone! Of course the first thing I do is turn it in to eBay. And then they wanted the money wired, thats a no no also! But how the hell did they link it to my work addy? Are there really people out there stupid enuf to fall for this scam? I also picked up my cell phone and called the seller!:devil:

Here is one way it happens.....

Take your ebay id and google it. On occasion you can match an id with an email and consider the scammers do this for a living..... go figure.

Bob,

That is crazy. I googled my ebay id and all sorts of stuff popped up. Including accurate information, and emails with my exact ID.

Now I am worried a bit more.
