I received this same msg about a month ago. Like all of these scams, it gives a link which is disguised as a legitimate ebay link, but which instead pops up a scammer's web-site which asks for all the info they need to hi-jack your account. I always go to the web-site and log in as something like "BITEME" with an equally rude password - all this info gets written to their files. |

I sent it to Spoof and it came back as a scam. The strange thing is when I click on the link it comes up ebays home page. It sounds like a different link they you guys are getting. |

For Lee's peace of mind, I will repeat what others have on this thread: This email is just a scam and does not indicate that you have been hijacked. The email is trying to scarce you in order get you to give up your password, etc-- if you sent them your info, then you might get hijacked. |

While I'm on the point and some readers may not be familiar with the subject, I will add to useful practices that will help prevent hijacks, stealing of stuff, etc. |

Lee (and the rest of the board): it's very easy to spot an ebay or aol scam: if the address that either sent you the email or the address where you're supposed to send your info does not begin with aol or ebay right after the www, it's a scam. Simple as that. |
