EBAY SPOOF EMAILS !!!

Yea I wondered for awhile if those were actually from ebay but like you said asking for unrelated details kinda gives the game away . I get the same suposidly from alot of the major banks asking me to confirm my account details and my online password ! lol Oh and then theres the Nigerian buisnessman who needs to stash a couple of mil in my account ! I had him on for quite awhile !

Interestingly this ebay one had actually bothered to make the link text read the actual ebay credit card page, just the link sent you to a spoof. Nice to see that the scammers are actually having to bother trying to disguise what they are doing.

Tried this, but ebay bounced the email back as it had an executable command within it!!! Decided to ignore it instead and funnily enough, nothing further heard. Badger.

Yes, they keep coming in, eBay and banks the same. It's rather a giveaway when you don't have a Barclays account.

Heheheh .. ;)
