I have never bought anything on Ebay but, they sent me a nice email asking for all my credit info to update their non-existent info.
It was from aw-conf@ebay.com
Follow Ups:
in your name. So your good reputation through postiive fedback, is used by him to steal money. The most notorious is the Rumanian scam artist who psots there every day, even today. He has hijacked someone's ID, by phishing, and will offer Martin logan Ascents, or odysseys, for $900 sent to him by western Union, only. Read the hystterical phony excuses why you can't use eBay's contact system "My compute with that info is broken!" . In reality, that email woudl go to the real holder of the eBay ID. So those phoney ads have to have a "contact me outside eBay" provision.Go to eBay and do a search for "B&W Nautilus", all the ads with free shipping, or that say "100% safe" transcations are scams.
Richard,This is called "phishing" and it doesn't really matter whether you have a ePrey account or not, the truth is, these are (ditto with Chase bank spam) broad-based phishing emails in an attempt to get your information and use that for further security breach or financial gains.
If you don't understand what "phishing" means, please do a google seach for that subject matter .
Sincere regards,
Q.
p.s. we don't have Chase bank here and yet I receive 3+ Chase bank phishing emails on a daily basis. Go figure!
-the technique is to route you through a secondary webpage that passes your keystokes to eBay. So as you log on, your password is remotely recorded.
same basic thing, but a new flavor. The key to ANY of these things is to never click on the login link in the e-mail. it will take you to "their" phony site.Dear #######,

Regards,
It is all very well telling people not to hit the links etc. you still cannot log on to the ebay site even by going straight to the site. Ebay are not too quick to answer the email complaints so this leaves you without an account......unless you know a way around it....
"What crap! Even if it is from Ebay(hard to believe)."
What a dum! no wonder you never used eBay. eBay never ask your credit info or login info via email.
