More spam I don't understand
Why would someone send a fake eBay e-mail that, if you click on the embedded links thinking that they lead to eBay, will in fact take you to a phishing site that will harvest your login info, and then give it the subject line "Phishing - Phishing - Question about Item -- Respond Now"?

Reverse psychology?
Posted by: Rubrick at November 15, 2006 05:08 PMMaybe something in between it and you detected the phishing and helpfully prepended a warning to the subject line? Twice?
