Ebay Abuse!?!

Someone tried to steal my graphing calculator I bought and paid for on ebay! I couldn't believe it!
I got a letter this morning stating:

Your payment cleared! I will ship the unit this morning and it should arrive at:
Emily Merrick
339 W. LEMON AVE. XXXXX CA XXXXX
in 2-3 days (estimate provided by USPS). Sorry for the wait.

What?!? I'm not in California. I've never even lived in the city that it stated before I X'ed it out (I feel it inappropriate to give that sort of information. It wouldn't make me any better then that little thief). But I didn't think it would actually be someone who was trying to steal my purchase, I just figured there much have been some simple mistake. How I didn't know, but I couldn't possibly think it was an ebay thief. Until I got a letter back stating:

Ok the address change has been made. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I received an e-mail for someone claiming to be you that requested it be sent to XXXXX. Being new at this whole eBay thing I must have been tricked by a "spoof" message. Your package will still arrive in 2-3 days.

How sad! Why would anyone want to do that. I sent an email back asking him to report that person because it really is not something that someone should get away with. That's just way to easy. Even this guy had not told me my payment had cleared and where exactly the purchase was going I would never had known. It would have been sent off somewhere else and then I would be in the middle of a legal dispute. Outrageous!

So now I'm going to be a little more careful. I'm even going to go as far as write this guy again and ask him what specific information was given to make him think it was me. Cause if there is someone out there poseing as me, well, I'm just going to nip this thing in the bud right now!
