[VFB] Ebay Fraud warning (NonFF)

[Tom Davenport]

A couple of days ago I got an email in html that looked exactly like 
the eBay sign-in window, from a ebay.com address purporting to be a 
"random security check".  I was supposed to type in my username and 
password and respond.  Of course I didn't and forwarded it on to eBay's 
fraud alert email address.  The whole thing was bogus, but it was so 
convincing I'm sure it probably fooled a lot of people. It's worth 
remembering that no reputable on-line business will ever ask you  to 
type your username and password in response to  an email,  phone call 
or whatever.  It also makes you hope there is a God so that people to 
perpetuate these scams will burn in hell.  It is usually some trusting 
elderly person who ends up being ripped off.
