Its a hoax. Don't click on it. Just copy and forward it to Ebay Fraud
section. They are just trying to get your password and any other
information.

I did report it and I am trying here to give others a heads up on this, but
have gotten a few "smart ass" responses. Thanks Nitespark. I appreciate a
good and honest answer.

MR NO SPAM February 20th 04 10:19 PM

Hell, if I don't receive two of those hoaxes a week, I'm not getting any
mail at all. One ass hole had his name in there, too bad for him! He was
using a Yahoo account. The whole thing was sent to E-Bay Fraud. MNS.

A classic phishing scam. It uses an Internet Explorer bug to make it
look you are going to eBay when in reality you are going to the
scammer's look-alike site and giving them your password.

The IE bug has been around for a long time.

Solution: Use Mozilla or some non-IE browser.

There are apparently a lot of suckers who fell for the Nigerian Scam. I'm
talking the likes of Doctors, Lawyers, etc. WHAT IDIOTS! I have no sympathy
for them. They should have known better. My reply to those idiots was to
pound that scam up their ass. I hear a few got rounded up a week or so ago -
in Newfoundland - I believe. Good for them. MNS.
