i have had loads of these plus some that say "Wheres my product, it's been ages" I just bin them.
Have had some that look like they come from Paypal and Barclays that look SO real. They even have the paypal address in the address field when you
visit the link. I ignore all emails like this unless i'm expecting them.

buyers/sellers this christmas.

They weren't technically sent from that mailbox...
If you look in the email headers you'll see where they really came from. ie Received: field.
Cheers
