I've had several emails asking me to look at something on ebay. When I click on the link it takes me to the ebay sign in page. Beware this is NOT the ebay sign in page. It looks the same, but when you sign in and give your password, they've got you.
This also happens with paypal as well as banks. The email is enclosed

"Hello,
My name is David Blane. I am interested in your item.The problem is that i am a litle confuse because i've seen another item exactly like yours.Please take a look:
http://61.59.178.214/ws.html?&pUserI...rrms g=8.html "

If you do click the above link, for goodness sake DONT put your details in!

Whats david Blane doing mixed up with scammers
PLEASE BE CAREFULL LOOK CLOSELY AND IDENTIFY SLIGHT DIFFERENCES IN YOUR PROPER SIGN IN PAGE IE;EBAY SYMBOL AT TOP SAYS EBAY .CO.UK INSTEAD ON FALSE ONE JUST SAYS EBAY GOOD LUCK THEY CAN USE YOUR EBAY ONCE YOU LOG ON THE WRONG PAGE

i reported a spoof website a while ago, and was taken down in hours

spoof@ebay.co.uk

That one comes around on a regular basis, mass mailing to all on a circulation list. As soon as Ebay shuts down one site another opens.

Just never click on links on unsolicited emails.

new things like this have been happening since ebay started good to mention it tho as people do forget but i tend to always check the address bar to check its the normaly website and nuffin else.

Mark Barber

i just want to warn people who dont know it can be serious

Phil DJ

When you click a link always check the address in the address bar.

If it's a valid link it will always look like this: https://signin.ebay.co.uk

If is starts with anything else it's not valid. The 's' on the end of 'http' indicates that it is a secure connection

DUDE_SWEET_FRST

well i never knew that

Dave Henshall

literally in the last 2 days ive upgraded to firefox, i get a warning like this when i click the lin k -much better than IE IMO and you get the tabs like IE7 so that popups are much lessof a problem

Wazzzer

been there a couple of months ago, if you hold the mouse over the hyperlink you should get what address its goin to send you to down the bottom of the page and it defo doesn't come up with ebay so watch out

Glen1909

Seconded, they can shove IE7, ohh its now got all the features firefox has had since day one. And its still crap

Phil DJ
