How can you fall for it, it boggles the mind. Just ignore any and all emails and sign in normally and check messages. I just don't get why people look at any such emails let alone click on a link.

Anyway have you reported it to eBay?

I hope you didn't just click 1 of the links and try to log-in.

Did the Op seriously just link to 2 fake websites?
Did he post fake links?

Is this a joke or was he acting super-retarded?

'ebey'? 'Customer' instead of your registered name? 'reason to belive'? 'to combat the fraud from our community'?

It's really not even close to being convincing.

The easiest way to tell is that most(not all) spammers dont know your name and they always start with dear customer/sir/madam etc. And normally the real versions use you name you registered with the account

Cleeecooo · 3 Apr 2011 at 22:23

Search for "iconix" great tool

if it says Customer or something that's not your name then you know it's fake. Most banks etc will use your actual name and not your email address etc...a as the welcome part of the email
