To those of you who sell on ebay beware that there is a new style spoof email that contains a link that will steal your ebay info. I comes from "Question from ebay member" and asks the question "Payment for your item has been sent. Can I get the tracking number today?"
It looks really good and following the link will get you into trouble. Those who sell alot and get these questions routinely should just be aware that these are out there.
Ebay has confirmed that it is no good and suggests that if you have any questions whether it is from a real buyer of your item that you should copy the item # in the link...go to ebay through your normally used link (valid) and enter the item # in a search. The # sent to me was of course "not found".
