dreamz Veteran Posted December 20, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 20, 2003 not sure if this is old, but i got an email from ebay claiming i needed to update my billing info and they requested my personal info like ssn, credit card numbers, etc. it looks like a real email from ebay, but the typo and the links look fake. just watch out.

Adrian Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 yeh, it looks fake as i don't think ebay will ask for such information like that...can you paste the link to the "ebay calling center" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellBender Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Just out of curiousity... were the creators of that scam smart enough to make the eBay billing center links a %01 link to exploit the vulnerability so that it actually looks like an ebay link in your IE location bar?

Samoa Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I have to admit, I was almost fooled by one such scam before. I simply deleted the email, and went to my paypal account. There was no problem...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
