Re: [OT] is this a scam? eBay New Unpaid Item Message from davidmaxmark:I get these scams all the time. Especially after I use Pay Pal, right on
schedule I get spoofs for them. send it here, within a few minutes you'll get a note they are looking and or it is for certain NOT from them "Spoof@..." <spoof@...> same link for paypal. never ever log into any site via a link that is on an e-mail that is sent to you, if you haven't saved the link, search their log in page or home page via google or something else.

Re: [OT] is this a scam? eBay New Unpaid Item Message from davidmaxmark:May I suggest that you report it before deleting and forgetting about it? I report all such invasions of my POP server with a report to the organisation supposedly organising it and a spam report with SpamCop. Thanks for letting us know about yet another email scam, Chuck.

Re: [OT] is this a scam? eBay New Unpaid Item Message from davidmaxmark:Thanks, all. I have forwarded the message to spoof@.... It
smelled very strongly of spoof but I was confused by seeing ebay.com in the link. Nevertheless, I know enough not to click on unsolicited links and should have realized that the IP address at front was taking precedence. I get 50 to as many as 100 spam messages per day including occasional ebay and PayPal spoofs. But this approach was a new one on me. Chuck Norcutt Scott Peden wrote: > I get these scams all the time.

Another thing to watch out for is links like: http://www.ebay.com.blah.evil.phishing.com -- even though it starts with www.ebay.com, it's actually a subdomain of phishing.com that you'll end up at. -- dan ============================================== List usage info: http://www.zuikoholic.com List nannies: olympusadmin@... ============================================== |
