I have several items up on eBay right now. I have gotten two e-mails
this weekend asking me if the item I am selling is the same as the
one at a link, but the link goes to a page to download some sort of
file. I have no intention of downloading something that may be a virus.
Anyone know
What's the URL?

Here's the URL from one of them:

Got to be a spoof. The domain 'aw-signin.150m' is not an eBay one. If
you go here:
Interestingly the file that downloads is a JS file without an
extension. It should produce a realistic eBay signin page but it has
no extension. Signin there and it e-mails your user ID and password
somewhere else entirely.

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
Thanks, Jay - good to know!

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

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
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.

Just to clarify something...
I sell stuff on Ebay and they do have a feature for selling to the
guy who came in second if you get stiffed by the winner. However, I
have only had to use this feature once in all the stuff I've sold
there. If you get a message like the one below be very wary but
I had something similar on a bid I made once. After a while, I got a
message that a higher bid came in on the item, but when the item ended,
I didn't get the expected you've lost the bid, but actually I won the
bid, with the explaination that the winner withdrew his bid. And to
