Hi everyone, do NOT fall for this scam.
I've seen it a couple times, but this one is probably the best example that I've seen so far. It comes via regular email.
IMAGE #1 -- Arrives by Email:
It looks like a "seller" has sent you something and is asking for feedback. But if you click on the Respond Now button, it takes you to a fake ebay sign on screen. The fake sign on screen looks very real. You enter your data to sign into your ebay account . . . and you have just given the scammer all the information he needs to steal your ebay account!
.
IMAGE #2 -- Screen you get directed to in your web browser if you select the Respond Now button:
If you use Firefox, it will alert you that the sign on screen is a forgery. But if not, then take a look at the second image below. Look at the URL. That is not an Ebay URL!
