Ebay Spoof Email

A couple of days ago I received a spoof email that looked totally real. Usually they don't look that good and you can tell that it was a fake. However, this one looked very real and they obviously spent sometime on this email. It was on an item that I sold asking for the tracking number. They always give you a link to login into eBay (or so you think) so that you can respond to the member. In reality this takes you to their site and if you enter your user name and password they will hijack your eBay account. If you are new to eBay you never want to login from any email to respond to a member. Just type in www.ebay.com in your browser, it doesn’t take that much longer. Below are a couple of resources.
