Anybody got a clue what this is all about?  Is this a scam?  davidmaxmark is
an ebay seller with about
5 sales in several years.  The listed item is some baseball tickets sold to
someone (not me) for $2700
and the seller is not davidmaxmark.


Thanks,
Chuck Norcutt

Log into your ebay account and see if the message is there. Sounds like a
fishing scam.

yep.  If you look at the url behind the link, you'll see it starts with
http://203.233.196.98 instead of anything having to do with www.ebay.com.

Scam.  Delete and walk away.

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.

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.

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.

  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.

Thanks.  I might have fallen for that one.  I don't know the rules for
parsing the URL.

  Start at the right-hand end and work left. If it _ends_ with
phishing.com, it's phishing.com, no matter what it looks like on the
left-hand end.
