Ebay Phishing

will it ever end, www.account-ebay.com … This is one of the best ones I have seen so far..

Easy way to tell.. remember that they DON’T have your username and password, so they can’t verify it… so always sign in with false data :)

    Yeah, sometimes I do this just to waste a bit of the phishers time by giving them false details.

    Every day, I too get emails telling me I am now a PowerSeller and all I have to do is log in and confirm my invitation.

    Personally (and this is not an aff promotion), I use a program called Mailwasher which is like an email previewer and lets me preview all of my emails while they are on the web server before I download them to my pc. But as an added benefit, if there is a link in one of the emails, it actually shows me the true URL that it points to.

    This easily lets me see that the email is a fake and I can delete it without even having to download it to my PC

    remember that they DON’T have your username and password

    Might I point out that it would be trivial to check their supplied info against PayPal by simulating a login with a bot. Might get banned quick but it would be trivial.

    Even better, now the phishers don’t need you to update their details, they can just use your supplied UNPW and log in themselves :-)
