The latest is angry e-mails from jilted Ebay buyers threatening to
call the police on you: "I paid you and have not to received my
thing!" again, the poor english is a dead giveaway, along with the
fact that I have NEVER sold anything on E-bay, ever.
They're getting better: the latest scam is to give your phishing
website a self-signed certificate : <http://tinyurl.com/cte3k>.
Bottom line: NEVER click through on one of those e-mails.

Couple of points Bruce. First I am sorry you have been
unsuccessful in selling things on eBay. Perhaps you could tell us
the technique you use and we can help you improve... :)
Give me something to sell?
Second. What can happen by clicking through these emails? I have
always felt safe to do anything on 9. Have I now to be
especially careful on X? Have to go around being super sensible
and scared like Windows folk? And no more boasting to my Windows
mates and family members?
No, merely clicking thorough does nothing, even on Windows systems,
but I'm woring in dumbuser mode.
"Don't ever do that, it's bad." is easier to explain than to try to
explain that these web sites aren't real, no matter how accurate they
look and you should never enter your data into a web site you get to
like this because they can use it to steal your identity.
Then I have to explain how come one web site could look just like
another yet not be the same web site, and the eyes glaze over and I
realize that I should have invoked the 3-year-old rule "Just say NO,
don't explain."
