This was very cleverly done. I got scammed by thinking I had already been
scammed. To wit:
Received a complaint thru ebay email wanting refund for something I did not
sell.
Thinking I was already the victim of id theft (like the hijacked accounts
the guy uses to scam the Pentax FA 300/2.8) I went to the item to see if my
ebay id was on the item.
I had to log in to get to the item as usual ebay policy.
The bidding had ended and the item received no bids so there could be no
buyer. The jig was up.
I reviewed the email and it directs the user to an AOL
http://xxxxxhometown.aol.com/ckosimik/index.html website and not an ebay
site. It can be seen but only momentarily before the fake ebay login pops
up.
I immediatedly changed my ebay user id and password.
What I learned (and knew already) is never put personal information in a
site that is linked to an email.
