warning message blocked by eBay

Just trying to help a member NOT get ripped off and tried to send the following message:

 

"Just in case you don't go back to the community, that Paypal "invoice" is almost certainly FAKE. Call paypal and verify before you ship and lose out. If the item doesn't show as sold on eBay and Paypal's website doesn't show paid when you login, it's a scam.

This is a common scam, don't fall for it."

 

eBay says:  

We can't send your message because it looks like it includes a phone number or email address. We review the messages that you send on eBay. Repeated attempts to send messages that include contact info could lead to restrictions on your account.

{e56132-924461x}

 

Where is the contact information in my message?  Where?  

 

Mainly venting but this is ridiculous.

At a guess - you used the words Paypal, invoice, website, sold, and call.

Could be any or all of them triggering "bots gone wild".
