Re: ANOTHER VARIATION OF eBay Scam!!!

64.253.163.66

I got eBay phished and it was a great attempt. It warned me that my account had been compromised, and to click on the link provided immediately to answer my security question or my account would be closed.

The phisher stole the eBay logo, made everything look legit, and the letter was well-structured and grammatically correct. I DIDN'T click on the link, but I did hover over it to see where it led. It led to some URl with "ebay" in the name in a foreign country. In short, the circumstances were suspicious, the (real) link was an obvious phony, but everything else was disturbingly legit looking.
