Comments:
  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at eBay by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • eBay never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "https://www.eBay.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login".


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual eBay URL.

"At eBay, we want to increase your security and comfort level with every transaction."

Respected Ebay Member;

Military Grade Encryption is Only the Start

At eBay, we want to increase your security and comfort level with every transaction. From our Buyer and Seller Protection Policies to our Verification and Reputation systems, we'll help to keep you safe.

We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your eBay account from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe that your account was hijacked by a third party without your authorization.

If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you are the rightful holder of the account, follow the following link to verify your information, to ensure you are the valid account holder.

https://www.eBay.com/cgi-b in/webscr?cmd=_login

If you choose to ignore our request, your account will be placed on limited access until this issue is resolved.

We ask that you allow at least 48 hours for the case to be investigated and we strongly recommend to verify your account in that time.

Thank you for using eBay!

Sincerely, eBay, eBay Fraud Department
