The links take you to a fake ebay page that looks just like the real thing and that is when they get your ID and pswd(if you enter it).
Reported to EBay and the FTC (Trade Commission).

Even the local police care less about these kinds of internet crimes. That's why they keep going on.
Steal a $1 candy bar and they're all over you. Steal $5000 in coins off the internet, no problem

True. But why is the item number in the question the wrong length for an item number?
