Warning to Ebay users(Scam/Virus)

Post by np »

Got an Ebay Email today asking if the item was still for sale.I`m not selling anything :?If you click on the item link it takes you straight to Ebay sign in.But if you look closely at the address bar,you will see some other www address,then all the Ebay stuff.Neadless to say i did`nt enter my details.In my Ebay section,i have no such email.I always get a copy to my Email address & My Ebay section.
Also,the user,715mick(33 feedback),is not registard with Ebay,if you search the user ID.
I reckon that if you signed in using the link,you will get some virus,or they will get all your details,password etc.
Neadless to say i`m not a fool :lol: ,so be warned & stay safe :)

Don't even click the link.

1. It tells the scammer they have found a live email address with someone daft enough at the other end to follow their links.

2. You could get yourself infected just by visiting these sites. Anyone using Internet Explorer and clicking one of those links would be well advised to do a full scan for viruses, spyware and malware.
