HELLO FELLOW COLLECTORS! JUST A WARNING......
I've received a couple EBAY SCAM emails recently including today. This message even states at the bottom of
their message that they WILL ask for personal info and credit card info!
AND.......as you can see in the FAKE LINK --- it's a "ONE TIME PAYMENT" information submittal link!
FOR YOUR PROTECTION......
AT THE VERY BOTTOM I'M PROVIDING A LINK TO EBAY'S SPOOF EMAIL DETECTION INFORMATION LINK
and I have also reported this to Ebay.
FAKE EMAIL MESSAGE!
Dear eBay member,
We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your eBay account from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe that your account was hacked by a third party without your authorization. If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you.
The login attempt was made from:
IP address: 154.106.12.15
IS Host: cache-154.proxyes.aol.com.
If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to temporally suspend your account. We ask that you allow at least 72 hours for the case to be investigated and we strongly recommend not to make any changes to your account in that time. However, if you are the rightful holder of the account, click on the link below, fill the form and then submit as we try to verify your identity:
"http://signin.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?OneTimePayment&ssPageName=h:h:sin:US
eBay will request personal data (password, credit card/bank numbers, and so on) in this email.
Thank you for using eBay!"
