Yet ANOTHER ebay scam??

[always quiet]

This is getting nuts! I just received an email from "ebay", advising me that I needed to change my password. Upon clicking the link to see where it would take me, here's the website it took me to.

It does look like ebay, but hey, the address is all wrong! Yes, I did change me ebay password....but went directly to the site myself to change it! It's getting so I don't trust anything from "ebay" anymore!

Grrr...I hate that people can do this and make it look so muh like the 'real thing'. I always get these scam emails from ebay and aol...

I noticed where it says to 'retype your password'...wrong wording. It would say 'reenter'. You can always find something slightly worded the wrong way in these scams. What really ticks me off is that there are many people who will think it is legit. Thanks for pointing out another one for me to look out for...

uggh!

I just refuse to do anything ebay sends me through an email unless I've won something or sold something.

If one day my password/username/auctions don't work then I'll contact them.

Your right its ridiculous!

Be sure to forward the email with headers to Spoof@ebay.com
