Be warned that there's a new eBay scam operating. I received an email,
supposedly from eBay, stating that I had been outbid on an article, with a
button therein to jump to that auction. It looked very, very real and I
clicked the button. It took me to an Ebay login screen, which was a little
suspicious, as I was already logged into eBay. I didn't enter any info and
forwarded the email to Ebay. It was a scam alright. But it looked very much
like a genuine eBay login.
For eBay forward suspicious email to spoof@ebay.com and for PayPal
spoof@paypal.com
The crooks are getting smarter these days.
