Ebay

I recieved an email this morning stating that i had an unpaid item dispute opened.
It was for a Ford Mustang...!!!!!! Alarm bells already

Anyway the email looked totally genuine. I clicked on the link ( i know duhhh!)
But luckily my com blocked it.

I have reported it to ebay, but i just wanted to warn others in case it is doing the rounds. I have had many spoofs before but never one this way.

The name of the seller is 6728028
I have checked and there is a seller. (usa) but he/she doesnt use the account by the looks of it. I was going to email them, and thought better of it.

Just a reminder to everyone who gets any spoofs, Ebay ALWAYS send a message to your ebay message box aswell.

    This is a very common scam, someone else started a thread on the ebay forum about it this morning as well. There is also a sticky thread on the ebay forum (see my signature) with all sorts of tips and warnings about these phishing mails.
