3dzapper Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Doesn't this look "official"? I sent it to spoof@ebay.com and got a personal reply that indeed it was a spoof and quite possibly contained a virus if any of the links were clicked.One thing to notice, it does not contain my eBay name. That is what tipped me off to the perp's phishing.BEWARE!!!!!Rick .AOLPlainTextBody { margin: 0px; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px; color: #000; background-color: #fff; } .AOLPlainTextBody pre { font-size: 9pt; } .AOLInlineAttachment { margin: 10px; } .AOLAttachmentHeader { border-bottom: 2px solid #E9EAEB; background: #F9F9F9; } .AOLAttachmentHeader .Title { font: 11px Tahoma; font-weight: bold; color: #666666; background: #E9EAEB; padding: 3px 0px 1px 10px; } .AOLAttachmentHeader .FieldLabel { font: 11px Tahoma; font-weight: bold; color: #666666; padding: 1px 10px 1px 9px; } .AOLAttachmentHeader .FieldValue { font: 11px Tahoma; color: #333333; } eBay sent this message to an eBay valued member.Your registered name is included to show this message originated from eBay.

Daddy Dee Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Rick, Thanks for the heads up. I get Ebay phishing e-mail sometimes several times a day... however, had no idea that some might be set up as virus attacks as well. If these scammers worked this hard at a regular job, they might make some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
