i would highly recommend that everyone double-check phish & spoof
emails with the vendor/bank involved by manually typing in the link
and/or logging into your account and check your messages there.
generally, ebay and banks (and credit cards, etc.) will post messages
there that are also sent to your email account. legitimate messages
can get lost/tossed and precious time wasted if one just trashes 
anything
they think is a scam. be vigilant! from personal experience i can tell 
you
it will save you in the long run.
