New e-bay scam

[similost]

I almost fell for this... don't you be a sucker either... just warning everyone..

Seriously though, I have seen some lately, similar, that look to be real, but e-bay would never ask you to click links like this...

What exactly did the items win?

Honestly, anymore I never directly click on any message from anywhere important like ebay, paypal, whatever.

I always delete the email, and type the URL into my tool bar to make sure I am not redirected.

That one is pretty sweet!

You should never, never click on a link in a email and sign on. Once you do that you just invited trouble as the scammer now has your sign on information. Just like Evan's post above me I always manually type the URL and sign on that way, whether it is ebay, paypal, my bank etc...

Regards,
Sal

I know they are all phishing e-mails, but some times I like to read them just for a laugh, the fact they think people are so stuuuupid to believe an e-mail that badly spelled and written.. (what is scary is people are that stuuuuupid.. :scratch2

When I open them, I open them as text only, so that way if anything is in it, no damage done... just do it as a past time every now and then..

I work in IT, so I also keep up on them just because we do have users that ain't so bright..

So, was it English translated from the original Cantonese by way of Korean? You just have to laugh as some of the phishing E-Mails. :lmao:

I've had the same guy from Viet Nam doing a socket probe of my firewall for a year now. I'm considering putting in a hole in the firewall, just to make his day. :screwy:

I'd poke a hole to a honeypot and sit back and watch... seen some funny stuff with people thinking they were in a real machine, and thought they were gonna take over the world.. ROTF!!!!!

Another clue(not that you need anny more)is that e-Bay always notify you using your e-bay name,not "Dear e-Bay seller".

The fact I never sold anything on e-bay before might be the next clue...

I'd considered that but, quite frankly, I'm no longer of the age group which has the time or energy.
