eBay Spoofing.....again

Just another BEWARE: I got another eBay spoof e-mail this AM, with a hot link asking for credit card and password confirmation, etc. I forwarded it to and within an hour received confirmation that it was a spoof. This one was extremely well done. The only give-away was that the hot link address started with http:// rather than https://. Note the ess. It indicates a secure link. Any legit eBay address will contain the ess. NEVER reply to any e-mail that asks you to "confirm" your eBay identity or asks for any account information. A reminder that the identity thieves are still out there!

Identity theft? Well, since you mentioned it, I like this one.

Kelvin,

You are mistaken about this one. eBay does not use the "https" prefix for the majority of their pages. The thing to remember about eBay (and PayPal, for that matter) is that official eBay emails will never ask for your password or credit card in an email message.
