I like coins: How do I forward this phishing e-mail to Ebay

mrpaseo · January 30, 2007 1:37AM

I received this e-mail:

Dear eBay Member,

During our regular maintenance period it has come to our attention that your eBay Billing Information is out of date.

The update process is a very simple and fast one and it must be completed immediately in order to avoid any future issues - Terms of Service (TOS) violations, cancellation of service, account suspension or even account termination.

To update your eBay records on file now click here

Once you have completed the process your eBay session will not be interrupted and your online experience will continue as normal.

It's obviously a phishing e-mail trying to get my ebay info and account information, who do I forward it to to report it to ebay?

Thanks for your help,
Ray

PS. Coins are great, coins are fun, I like coins, coins, coins, coins

Ray,

Click on, or bring up "full header" before forwarding to spoof@ebay.com

I get at least two of those trash a day.

Ray, make sure to include the email text, and also the routing info.

If you're feeling especially vigilant, you can try running the email through spamcop.net. It'll parse out the headers and send prepared emails to the relevant authorities, mostly automatically.
