fake email and web page scam
in distribution from
16th October 2003
This fake eBay email has been in distribution from 16th October 2003 and we also have an image of the fake web page that it sends you to. These are just images of the originals, so there is absolutely no code included and none of the links or buttons will now work. The images shown have been reduced to 80% of the original size
The fake email...
The fake email states that your account will be suspended due to a 'Misrepresentation of Identity' and requests that you update and verify your account information. The email shows a link, but the link is disguised (cloaked) and is not indicative of where you will end up if you use it. The link will in fact lead you to a bogus web page...

The fake web page...
The hoax web page looks like a genuine eBay page. It is clearly apparent that the page is spoofed when you see the URL/web address in your browser's address bar.
http://207.36.67.92/secure.htm
which is hosted by valueweb.net (a frequent source of fake eBay web pages)
This hoax eBay web page contains a form for you to provide your eBay user ID and password, credit card information, bank details, etc...
