Warning: Ongoing eBay fraud
I just received an email from someone using the email [email protected] as sender. Do not trust the email. Don't follow the instructions, don't give away your bank account details. The email starts:
"Dear eBay member!
Your information in our eBay file, was marked (flagged) as incorrect and/or (fraudulent). To avoid any inconvenience concerning an interruption of your service membership, in future. Please take just a moment and update your eBay billing file. Remember to "doublecheck" all the fields for any possible mistakes."
The email then contains the a URL with an eBay "look alike" page, that is definately not the real deal. On the page, the user is asked to fill in bank account details. I am not too good at finding out what ISP runs a specific site, so I will give you the URL here. I won't link to it in case anyone accidentally clicks the link and starts reading the text. Again: do not follow these instructions! Here is the URL: 64.177.3.234
