eBay Phishing

WTF? How could anyone possibly fall for this obvious phishing attempt. You'd think these idiots would at least spell check their crap and put the $ sign in the right place.





Dear eBay customer ,

Due to our new services ( spam guard , ssl encrypted connection , paypal upgrade , etc ) you have to pay your eBay fees ( 9 $ ) .You can pay with your credit/debit card .We will charge your account with the ammount of 9 $ . However you will receive a confirmation request in about 24 hours after the credit/debit card is authorized .

You have 24 hours from the time you receive this e-mail to complete this eBay Request. You might experience techincal problems with the SUNTRUST online merchant (our new security partner) , might receive The SG alert as the online merchant is hosted on the SUNTRUST domains for now . We will update the SG webclient shortly to recognize SUNTRUST as a legit eBay subdiary website .

For its 9th birthday , eBay will reward you with a refund of 200$ in the next 3 days and if your credit card is authorized , for being a top 10 eBay customer (seller / buyer) , eBay will enroll you in the 9th WINasmuchasuEBUY contest where u can WIN 10 000 $ or a splendid Dodge sv .


Note : Ignoring this message will cause the Suspension of your account . To reactivate it you will have to pay a fee of 350 $ .
