eBay Security Measures: Verify Your Identity - Email Scam
1st February 2004

This regular maintenance of eBay security measures is a scam ...

This spoof email arrives in HTML format with a forged eBay form (see image below) which asks you to provide your eBay and email user names and passwords, etc.

We found that the destination for this information had been hard coded into the email. Any data provided is processed via server-mail.com and sent on to a yahoo email address - cucuaratare@yahoo.com.

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.

Take a good look at the following images, because this email scam may be coming to an inbox near you!
