To add to the eternally annoying list of companies that ignore abuse@ mail... ebay now requires that you fill in their lovely little web form to send them a note. Even if, say, you're trying to let them know about another scam going around that tries to use the machine www.hnstech.co.kr to extract people's credit card information.
It's funny you should bring that up. I got that e-mail a few days ago, and figured I would do the nice thing for ebay and let them chase down someone blatantly abusing their name and ran into the same brick wall. I finally decided their hoops to get this information to them cost more generosity than I felt like giving. I even went to the web page they suggested to try and give them a copy of the msg with full headers and none of their categories at the time matched: Good willed person trying to give you ammunition for a company abusing your name. I gave up, and left it as their problem if they don't want to take free help to make their case easier. If they even had an "Other" option I could have sent it to them. *shrug* Their loss. G
