Warning ebay scam

[amigamad]

Dear eBay User,
As stated in the User Agreement, Section 41.1, we may send you this email.

We regret to inform you that your eBay account  can be suspended if you do not solve your problems and you do not cooperate. After the multiple frauds registered lately, our company has initiated a study regarding this problem. In this study the company has reached the conclusion that most of the frauds were possible because of the low email service security level .

   For a best deployment of our further activities (the frauds prevention) our company has decided to test for free the security of the email services that you (our users) use.
   Hoping you have understood that we are doing all these for your own safety and for the good deployment of the relations between our company and its partners we suggest you to access the following form to test your e-mail .
 
 
 

This problem is regarding any eBay member.

 If you do not respond in 24 hours after you have received this eBay notice, your account might be closed and got out from our server.
So we ask you kindly to cooperate and let us know if you still use your account or not.
Please login into your account at this link:

I get those all the time, but that one is least professional I have ever seen! The english is all wrong. I used to fill them out with fake names like Goscrew Yourselfnow. as a name ect. Have fun with them.

I don't get it. How can this email squeeze the pw/login from you if it points to an EBay server address :-?.

Maybe because it only *looks* as if it takes you to an ebay address...

Blame XOOPS for trying to turn the first "link" into a link :-D I think that the link text has that ebay address, but actually points to http://www.hform.com/form.cgi?1765312  This is the kind of thing that some newbies really need educating in :-(

---edit---

Would it really annoy the scammers if a load of people started entering loads of fake ebay accounts onto that form? :-o  :lol:

The detail these phishing sites are getting into is sometimes pretty amazing.  I recently received one from Wells Fargo bank (clearly a scam since I don't even have an account there), but the address was *.wellsfargo.com, and it was even SSL encrypted!  It looked *very* authentic and I don't doubt that people were fooled by it.  They even had the audacity to link to www.wellsfargo.com right there on the page!

You've got to be more and more and MORE careful these days, unfortunately :-/

I knocked up a little program that continuosly entered fake details to a couple of scam bank sites that emailed me.

I wish I had ADSL here,cos on dialup it could only fire off about 5 posts a second, but I did leave it running for 15 minutes or so  :evilgrin:

One bank they tried to imitate doesn`t ask for the full password, just a couple of random letters of it ( ie "Please enter the 3rd and 6th letters"), So I hope they had great fun checking out all those accounts by hand...

I don't reply to ANY email requests for information about myself.  Darn, what's the world coming to, ya can't trust anybody these days.  Regards...Art
