I just received an email that looks exactly like one of those "messages from eBay member" emails.
here is the message:
Hi,
Have you make the payment?Please respond me!!!
I need to know because i have shipp the item.
Kind regards
Debbie
Any link I click on brings me to the "eBay" login page.
The item link, the respond now link, even the link below the message: "Learn how you can protect yourself from spoof (fake) emails at:".
How ironic is that... the learn how to protect yourself from spoof emails link is a spoof link to rob my account info.
This email looks 100% authentic. But it is not. The url when clicking on a link does not even say eBay. Which is surprising - they are usually able to still make it look like an eBay url.
The login page looks great too.
These guys are getting good.
Of course when I open up my own browser window and type in eBay.com and sign on.... I didn't 'win' any auction they are talking about. And, not surprisingly the item number is not even for the item they describe.
I will say - these people are getting good.
Be careful as always. Never click on a link to sign into eBay or PayPal.
Regards,
Joe
