  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at eBay by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • eBay never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "https://signin.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Signin".


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual eBay URL.
