The headers will tell the tale. Please post complete headers, including
_all_ the "Received" headers, or send them to me. I run the mailfilters
for a large state government agency in the US midwest; this sort of
thing is meat and drink to me.

Dear eBay User,

These are almost uniformly hoaxes designed to get your ebay information from
you. A quick mouse-over of the supplied link can easily show this (except
in one recent example where the perp managed to tell my computer that no
matter what I moused over, it was the ebay sign-in page.. even in another
window.. ).

Forward the entire e-mail, unedited, and un-answered to: .
You will get a confirmation from ebay within a short time of receipt of the
forward, and a short time later you'll get one that says it is a spoof.

Thanks, I went to the site and did those things ...... I didn't divulge any
info to the link... It was unsecure... so don't do those anyway. Besides, this
can serve as a heads up to other users.

Thank you
Bill

Yes, it's completely bogus. In general, when you mouse over
the link, the bar at the bottom of your mail agent will display the
full URL. This fake email started with HTTP://w.x.y.z where w.x.y.z
was a raw IP address. Later in the URL was an @ sign with the eBay URL
which appeared as the link in the email. However, it's the part before
the @ sign (the bogus part) which is the URL to which you actually get
sent to enter your private information. Ignore the real-looking logos
and other good links on the page. They're real-looking because they
_are_ real -- copied from the real eBay site.

Keep in mind, there's a 'bug' in Microsoft Internet Exploder that
allows someone to 'fake' the link so even when you put your mouse over
the link, the link could still say www.ebay.com - at least it would
APPEAR to say that.
