NoWire

I just got this on my inbox. The funny thing is, I don't have anything posted on eBay...



And all the clickable link looks like this:

[url ]http://mailrelay.attorneygeneral.gov.lk/.usage/ISAPIdllSignIn&pUserId=&co_partnerId=2&siteid=0&pa geType=-1&pa1=&i1=-1&UsingSSL=1&bshowgif=0&favoritenav=&ru=&pp=&errms g=8.html[/url ]

I didn't dare to click. If someone can do it for me, that'll be great. (by the way, I put a space between the tag so it won't be clickable.

Please let me know if this one is legit or not.

Thanks.

It's obviously NOT legit :)

I tried the link on my Mac but it didn't work. Most likely it would ask you to "login" to "Ebay".... Then they have your details.

Got it - there were a couple of spaces in there that I had to remove.

Here is the page anyway - just like I thought, looks like the real Ebay.

edit: resized, sorry.

Nah... Not with my Packard Bell 286, running Windows 3.11. Although, I just upgraded it to 56k modem. I'll try it in a bit... :approve:

Yeah, I put space in beginning and ending part... :)

Anyway, like you've mentioned, looks like they want some login info... Pretty slick.

Thanks again Howard...

I have to say the gmail spam filter is pretty good. I always find a few of these in the spam folder.

Another way you can tell this isn't legit is that it has no eBay Item number. All emails about items have the item number in them somewhere, as long as they originate from eBay.

OK. I have the definitive proof that this is not legit. We got the same exact email (only a different name was used). The email came to my wife's email account...which has no registered ebay account. So, it is clearly a scam, because it would be impossible to contact my wife's email account through ebay. :) Just in case you needed any more proof.

I actually sent this one on to ebay's spam alert because it was so realistic looking. They sent me back an article about identifying suspicious email. I mean, thanks and all, but it seems like I have already indentified the suspicious email???
