If this is a scam, people definately need to be aware......
I was searching on ebay for motorbike and saw one which got my attention..
It was advertising a new 2007 yahama
Now i know that it was a scam anyway but i thought i would look at it anyway just to see what the new bike looked like
However..... when i clicked on the link to view, it took me straight to a fake ebay login
It did not have the little security icon in the corner and the address bar at the top was not an ebay.login
I cut and pasted the address and put it into a new brower and sure enough it took me to a fake ebay login screen again
I am amazed they have found a way to get your passwords through EBAY??
Has anybody seen this before?
ps although i didnot put any information on the fake ebay screen, i have changed my password, just incase.
