    In the last weeks I started sellign a couple of bits on Ebay. I had 2 car kit cables that I decided to sell. In the last 3 days I've had 3 messages from 3 different ebay accounts in China, all with the same wording :

    "Dear friend,
    The concern for thank you!
    Our carrying pass, EMS, UPS, Dhl, TNT, FedEx.
    If you want to purchase, you can enter our website directly.There are a lot of items that you want to purchase there.

    MSN:nanyangshi_668@hotmail.comangshi_668@hotmail.comnanyangshi_668@hotmail.comArrival welcomed you!
    Thanks! "

    Followed today by a meassge from ebay :

    (cutdown version)

    "Our records indicate that you recently sent an email to or received an email from xuxia2o1ping through the eBay email system (for example, you may have sent an email to this member through Ask Seller a Question or received an email from this member through Contact eBay Member).

    Sometimes eBay accounts are used to send email solicitations for transactions outside of eBay, or to send unrelated questions in hopes that you will respond so that the other party can obtain your email address. We wanted you to be aware of the potential fraud risk these solicitations pose and encourage you to be cautious about the email you received from this member. "

    It's pissing me off, anyone know a way to avoid this crap?


    Ps this was more a rant than anything else. :)
