re: Beware New eBay Scam
Wasn't that the same thing with egold just few years ago and some stupid attempts till today. Just be careful where you go, and always see what actual link status line shown. You may even Righclick - Properties to see where this link gets you. If it's not eBay.com long side many subdomains under ebay.com, then don't click it. The trick is to mail message using strong language. And oh that temper, you click back withough thinking consequences. Think first. Next level of scams will be keyboard-robots recording your keyboard codes as you type in passwords. It's all have been there with Internet Explorer and ecurrency providers. All of them, especially loved egold.com. -- home http://roman.blakout.net/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: Beware New eBay Scam
Just remember if it is a question from ebay member your full real name will be included in the email - none of the spoof mails have that. Of course, if it is a question about something you aren't selling it is pretty clear :):) the spoofers seem to have hi-jacked legit sellers handles. ann Jens Bladt wrote: Thanks, Jay - good to know!

I just never respond to any ebay or paypal emails and report them to ebay or paypal. None of them have been legit.

Re: Beware New eBay Scam
One quick way to pick up on something like that being fake - What would have tipped me off is the Respond Now button. I don't think Ebay puts that in emails any more - there's just a grayed out box saying Respond to this in 'My Messages', and it's not even a link. --- Jay Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just got a fake eBay message from a supposed buyer threatening to report me to eBay if I don't answer his question.

Re: Beware New eBay Scam
Same here. If Ebay needs to contact me, they can do it through the 'My Messages' mailbox. dk On 7/11/06, R.C.Booth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just never respond to any ebay or paypal emails and report them to ebay or paypal.

Re: Beware New eBay Scam
Jay, I got a similar message out of the UK. When I tried to look for the sender, it said that AOL user was busy. When I clicked the Respond Now button, it asked for a log-in. That's when I quit. The easy way to check those is on your My Ebay. It lists your My Messages. When I check, nothing was no message. Regards, Bob S.

Re: Beware New eBay Scam
If you get an email from eBay or PayPal that asks you to click on a link, and you haven't specifically requested it, rest assured it is fraudulent. I spend several hours a day running down these 'phishing' scams. -Adam Bob Sullivan wrote: Jay, I got a similar message out of the UK.
