New Securtiy Check (sign in page) email scam
9th December 2003
Fake eBay sign in page by email - yes it is a scam ...
This spoof email (as eBay and Paypal like to call these email scams) takes the form of forged eBay sign in page.
Whilst it should be emphasised that eBay would never send an email of this nature, it goes without saying that scammers send masses of these forged emails out with the fair expectation that a small number will fall prey to their deceit.
The sign in pages will transmit any user name and password given in this sign in page, to a PHP script located at www.ebayp.net, which is a domain hosted at Yahoo.com and registered to an individual in Virginia, USA. Clearly nothing to do with eBay at all. Once submitted, your browser will open the genuine eBay.com sign in page thereby concealing the posting of this data to the PHP script.
If you have received this hoax 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.
