Well, it's just gone midnight. Today (by which I mean Saturday) I got 24 e-mails to my main e-mail account; 17 were spoof 'eBay' ones - that's a new record for me.
Oddly, I got none to my other addresses.

Who's got the most ever? :)

My God.

I get one ever few weeks but 17 in one day @_@

At least most people have learned to recognize these bogus emails.

Never gotten one myself. But I do get daily email's from someone wanting to put millions of dollars into my bank account till they can 'make it' to the US.

They should just send a check, or money order. ;)

I get 3-4 per day which is nothing compared to 17. I'm a power seller even.

I never give out my ebay e-mail address. I have a junk address that I use for website surfing. So I have no idea where it got "stolen"

Haha, GG.

I've never gotten one myself. Did get some spam emails a while back; I think that source has dried up though.
