Have y’all gotten this spam-mail? They purport to be another auction website, but have nothing to do with the real ebay, offering to let you list your first item for free.

Reason I didn’t click on the link was because the e-mail originated from a hotmail address.

GOOGLE search reveals a high school with a large number of hits on the website.

I got it and deleted it. I hope that Ebay takes some action against them.

If you google ‘ebaytoo’ - there are only two hits (neither of which are ebaytoo dot com, incidentally). They’re just pages on [digits.com](http://digits.com) - a site counter service, and the links bring you to their page of “Top 100 Sites by Hit Counter.” Google’s last cache of the page had a high school site before ebaytoo, so when it wrote the explanation out, it appeared that it was describing a high school.

Nah. All I had in my spam account was a message from Yoda that said “Activate Your Mortgage.”

Bummer… All the cool kids get the best spam… _sigh_

Neat place, the have an area for KKK stuff, and an area for Nazi stuff.

Well, I would too, if for no other reason then to piss off the Europeans and their fascist “anti-hate-speach” laws.
