From what I understand there are similar things going on with other major sites to include Paypal.

Got an email from a paypal clone the other day that used https:\www.paypal.com as the prefix to the script site. It looked pretty good. The dll it pointed to asked for me to sign on using my account name and password to keep my account active. I thought that was hysterical, since I checked my mail while looking at my paypal account in another window. They are getting better.

That one is scary! I think we all need to be more and more careful!

TWICE have I gotten an email from an Ebay-looking sender, asking for all kinds of personal financial information, passwords, account numbers, SSAN, etc.

This is COMPLETELY FRAUDULENT (Ebay has an alert on their site). This is scarey stuff as well, as they look toally Ebay-like and legit.

Be careful!

I got this same email a few weeks ago. I forwarded it to the local FBI.
