Re: Question about shipping for eBay item #390079883827 1
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 anchor text appears as a legitimate URL, but don't be fooled - clicking on it will take you to a phishing site!
