WARNING NEW EBAY SCAM BEWARE!!!!!!

[T_R_S]

Ok I have new seen this before.
I have several auctions on ebay right now.
I got a question for a potentail buyer.
Even the question was good it all looked really like a normal ebay question
When you sell on ebay, ebay forwards the question to you and you can respond to the buyer,
HOWEVER THE EMAIL did NOT orginate from eBay it looked like a question from one on my current running auctions.
It was very slick and looked so authentic. T
he link that responded to the question did not go to ebay it was a spoof/phishing email.

They got my login I only caught it because I am using my account lots these days
and saw a new auction which I ended and changed my password right away.
Anyway eBay help me a lot.

Dude, I kind of got your jest, but there's so many grammatical errors that it was hard to decipher exactly what your were trying to say in places... can you clarify?

[echorec]

Yeah, I got a few of these too recently. You have to be very careful these days.

dobby12: It is a new type of "phishing". It looks like a regular "Question from ebay member" but it is fake. Always check the adress field in your browser before entering a site that requires a password.

wow, they are some slick ones out there, i have not saw a email yet but several months ago someone busted my ebay and paypal password, i was lucky to change it before any damage occured. I will be on the look out , thanks

[T_R_S]

All of the phishing emails I have gotten were pretty plain what they were.
This for sure is a new type as it was from a running auction.
Somebody put a lot of effort into it.
I compared it to a regular email ebay question and I could not tell even the page it sent me to was very good. Nothing out the ordinary looked off.

Yeah the lesson here is always answer your Ebay messages on Ebay.

Since you are being critical of the original poster...the word is "gist", not "jest".

Good catch bro...!!

Those sneaky tricksters...

No More Ebay or Paypal for me....!!
Honestly...

Since I only buy from folks I know...and now I can sell on Craigslist locally...just as fast without fees..

We let our Paypal account and Ebay account lapse...!! After 7 successful years...we said...no mas. Just seems too insecure anymore.

Respect,
