Someone ought to start compiling a list of spams or phishes notable for their hilarity. This one had me ROTFL:

“Ebay Notification : Posibile Account Hack

Dear valued eBay member,
Our IP sentinel has detected a strange IP using you eBay account and it might be used for illegal activities.If you could please take 5-10 minutes out of your online experience and update your personal records you will not run into any future problems with the online service. However, failure to update your records will result in account suspension. Please update your records by September 31th.

Once you have updated your account records your eBay session will not be interrupted and will continue as normal. Failure to update will result in cancellation of service, Terms of Service (TOS) violations or future problems.”

I’ll get right on that – September 31th.
