Spoofed eBay email claims that your credit or debit card authorization failed ...

This spoof eBay email (see image below) is in HTML format containing a form to provide your user name, password and credit or debit card with Bank information.If you were to enter this data and submit it, it would not go to eBay at all but would be captured by a remote PERL script which would email the information on to the perpetrators.

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.
