I'm sure your reply made you feel good, but it also told them that the email addy they sent that spoof to is a valid one.
Prepare for an onslaught of "body enhancement", investment, prescription and other bogus things in your inbox, my friend. Because if they can't fool you with the scam, they'll sell your valid email addy. NEVER reply. But DO forward such things to spoof@paypal.com (or spoof@ebay.com)

Agreed Rocky, also Indy, nevr _EVER_ go to a link inside any email you suspect as bogus.
as a matter of fact, even if you think it is legit, always go to the site in question manually, IE go to paypal.com, then login etc, never _EVER_ use a shortcut link. The reason being is that many of the scammers/spammers, are also distributing viri, trojans and rootkits. By even simply going to the page in their spoofmail you put yourself at risk for java/active-x applications installing things without your knowledge. Yes i know there are ways to protect yourself to "some" extant against those, but, the best prevention is not to expose yourself in the first place.
