Hi everybody,
As one or two members here already know, I have reported a recent active
eBay spoofer to their ISP, with the result that their site has been
demolished. eBay have also been informed.
Here's a copy of the letter I sent to the ISP, with their reply on top.

Hello Abuse,
Here's the code from an eBay spoof message that looks as though it comes
from your ISP site.
I wonder if you can deal with the source.
I will also send you a copy of the original e-mail so you can see
more of the
code.
There are many copies of this hitting my friends around the world who are in
certain news groups.
Sincerely,
Brian Swale in New Zealand
