Just recieved another Ebay "please confirm your details" email.....

Looks very real, except that the whole email is an embedded picture and link, to a non-ebay site (for the techies 210.94.178.232)......

The grammar is wrong once again ......

'If your problems could not be resolved' :confused: if it was refering to you filling out their fake form and it still was wrong .... it would read ' If your problems cannot be resolved' .... its talking in the wrong tense. :rolleyes:

'For the User Agreement, Section 9, .. blah blah.....' this is not a way to start a sentence :rolleyes: maybe if it started 'As per the User Agreement ....' but its still hopelessly grammatically wrong..... :rolleyes:

Look for the smallest grammatical or spelling mistakes and you'll be all right !

But i agree , it is getting better....... presumably most of these emails originate from the Far East etc where English , although spoken widely, is a very hard language to grasp, the grammar and vocabulary and the tenses are subtle and easy to trip up on ...
