Title: Message

I sent it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and requested clarifications since we had not seen it before.  Here is the response.   === Thank you for contacting eBay's Trust and Safety Department about email solicitations that are falsely made to appear to have come from eBay. These emails, commonly referred to as "spoof" messages, are sent in an attempt to collect sensitive personal information from recipients who reply to the message or click on a link to a Web page requesting this information.  The email you reported did not originate from, nor is it endorsed by, eBay. We are very concerned about this problem and are working diligently to address the situation. We have investigated the source of this email and have taken appropriate action. You may rest assured that your account standing has not changed and that your listings have not been affected.  We advise you to be very cautious of email messages that ask you to submit information such as your credit card number or your email password. eBay will never ask you for sensitive personal information such as passwords, bank account or credit card numbers, Personal Identification Numbers (PINs), or Social Security numbers in an email itself. If you ever need to provide information to eBay please open a new Web browser, type www.ebay.com, and click on the "site map" link located at the top the page to access the eBay page you need. If you have any doubt about whether an email message is from eBay, please forward it immediately to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and do not respond to it or click on any of the links in the email message. Please do not change the subject line or forward the email as an attachment. .... ====   So I guess they have filters that picked up that URL in their autoresponse.    Regards, Kami   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Landry Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 9:06 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] eBay - scam.. Yep, been catching this one for quite a while now.  It is surprising, however, that E-Bay has not gone after these guys since it is so blatant in its attempt to steal E-Bay user account information.   Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: Kami Razvan To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 02, 2003 1:06 AM Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] eBay - scam.. Hi; An interesting email was just caught with a barely hold value. It is asking for the recipient to click to update their eBay records.  The only URL in the body that is suspicious is:  info-update-ebay.com The Whois is anything but eBay. The email has full eBay logo and TRUSTe information - coming with links from eBay. This is the way the email starts.. ================================ Your eBay account is in jeopardy! To secure your account please continue by clicking the link below. Secure your eBay account now! ================================= Has anyone else seen this?  You may want to filter that URL.
