Email scams abound!
Every email listed is a fraud, and is directly from my mailbox.
Check to see if the money you inherited, won, or are being offered is the same as mine!
IMPORTANT: DO NOT RESPOND TO SCAMMERS. That only lets them know they have a good email. If you already responded, block them and stop all communication. If your area has someone who handles Internet scammers, report them. Don't try to handle it yourself.

We are going to file a charge against you. #id6432
Ebay (support_736@ebay-billmelater.com) (this email came as an image that didn't show. But I checked and it came from a non-Ebay site that is known as a phishing site.)
I have also received the same type of email asking me to pay $349. I contacted Customer support at Ebay and forwarded that email to spoof@ebay.com to bring this matter to their attention. I opened the message but did not print the invoice to play safe.
Mine went straight to the spam folder but out of interest I downloads the "invoice" on my phone and the zip contains an exe file as you would expect for a phishing email.
I received the same thing this morning. I have not purchased or sold anything on eBay for the last 3 years. So, I assumed this was a scam. I will be reporting it to eBay. The email I received was from id_848@ebaybill.com. The subject line read, "We are going to file a charge against you. #id47504"
I couldn't find a good email address or phone number to report this on the eBay site. So, I called their auto fraud department. The man I spoke with asked me to forward the email to spoof@ebay.com and explain the details (like I got a virus or I received it at x address, etc.).
I got one as well but mine was to "customer@ebay-billmelater.com" ... Mine went to SPAM folder. I deleted it.
