Anybody received this spam (??)
LockedOne of my yahoo email-ids, that I use just for Yahoo groups received an email with the following subject. ***Urgent Fraud Prevention Group Notice***
It is supposed to have come from [b]eBay.[/b], they have all the logos etc 🙂
I never give out this particular email id to anyone. Funny how they got it. My wife has her yahoo account too, and she has not received it though. [b]Interestingly I do not even have an eBay account, whereas my wife has one.[/b]
Here is the full text message:

There is a “Respond Now” button that urges us to click :-). I hovered my mouse over it and see that the URL points to a domain myuganda.co.ug/ 🙂
