I have been a little busy lately and haven't been able to pay as close attention to IAP as I like to. If this is a repeat, I apologize.

I received this email. I suspected it's a fake and now had it verified. The really strange thing is I have purchased wood but no pen parts, no tools or anything. I wonder how someone was able to determine this was the trigger that I would (almost) fall for. If I hadn't been so busy, I might have checked it out.

Email message follows...

Edited to break the links
 
I broke the links that this site wanted me to go to.

I got a reply back when I forwarded the email to EBay. They said this was not from EBay and they also told me to be careful since someone knows my habits closely enough to send this to me.

I'm normally pretty savvy about these things, but, in my distracted state of mind lately, I almost fell for it.
