            <description><![CDATA[So, I get an email that looks like an ebay question from a buyer to a seller.  The only thing is, I don't have anything for sell.  I check out the auction number (by copying and pasting it from the email) and its a legit auction.  Now, as I said earlier, I try not to do anything stupid with my email.  So, before clicking anything in the email, I hovered the links.  To my surprise, the links are all http://www.google.com/pagead/... links.  A couple of days later, I get another one.  As if click fraud is not bad enough, now spammers are getting into the game.<br />
<br />
So, beware.  If you get an email from "ebay", it very well could be a click fraud spam.  Hover those links before you click.<br />
