Attention - A Password Scam Using Ebay.com

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.
