Got the same one yesterday. I wonder how many people fall for these things.

you forgot to post the actual urls that are hyperlinked

i get 2-3 of these a day...we all get them...it is called phishing

I got a couple as well yesterday

amazing peolple are getting away with this shit. The worst part is when someone falls for it, not only is it a pain in the ass to contact ebay, paypal, bank accts, etc... but they stop trusting the web as a safe place to shop.

:(

EXACTLY!! I thought EBAY was a serious company!!

Sig placement.

AHA thats suspicious... who hasn't opened an ebay account yet.. They dont even need a judge for that one your guilty sir..

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

mmm I dont think so!!

I never opened an account on ebay!.. Event better, I´ve never bought anyhting on EBay

thats a silly thing to say when even banks are getting done by these people, and if there was ever a serious business its a bank

LOL ! Fuckin' scammers of my ass !

people are dumb and fall for that all the time. We get calls about it at the ISP about it

no way! You're telling me there are spoof e-mails sent??? OMG what's the world coming to?



</sarcasm>

This is new to you? I get alot of the Paypal ones also.

total scam I have gotten a number of them

I get them on a regular basis too... have to admit the very first time I was a little tempted to think it might be real since I did have an account and it coincidently worded something in the e-mail that seemed to refer to something genuine that had happened.

I didn't fall for it, but I think calling people stupid is pretty easy when phishing has been so widely publicized now... besides if a scam was so stupid it probably wouldn't work so well and continue to happen so often.

As far as what companies are used as lures, you can hardly blame them for being exploited by dishonest people. The more reliable and trustworthy a brandname is the more likely it's going to convince otherwise intelligent people to give over private information. The phishing sites tell you that to access your account you have to sign in, signing in is what normally proves you're who you are, not proves the company asking for the sign in information is who it claims to be. Think of how many times you've slipped you're bank card into an unknown ATM, what's to stop someone from setting up a fake one somewhere and recording your information? And I bet someone who fell for that wouldn't be called stupid.

I'm getting pretty tired of them too

Got it yesterday too, fun times
