Ebay doesn't do stuff like that, PEOPLE do. Crooks do. I get plenty of unsolicated emails that have nothing to with EBay from people wanting to scam me, like the ol' "I'll pay you more than the car is being bought for so you can send money back", or "My uncle's niece's dog's nephew's third cousin twice removed from my fathers side has inherited a Kajillion dollars but I need your help in getting it out of my country that is the size of Chicogo's south side, so could you please send me your bank account, mother's maiden name, your first born, the name of your childhood pet, and $4000 so I can complete the transaction".

Just be smart about watching out for crooks. Otherwise, generalize and blame the whole internet for being another platform for creative scum to work with.
