New? Ebay phishing that almost got me!

I occasionally buy/sell a book or two.

I get an email that "appears" to be from ebay requesting me to write a book review on a book I purchased about a month ago, complete with the usual linky dink.

I almost bit on it, the only thing that saved me was my poor typing skills. I did not want to invest time pecking out a book review.

I thought it was clever that they waited a month to give the "sucker" time to read the book. This scam plays on ones' ego, making the sucker feel pretty impressed with himself that smoeone wants his opinion of a book.

Damn, that does sound like a dangerous new twist
