I keep getting messages saying that eBay has had trouble verifying my
credit card, and that I must reconfirm my credit card info.
The first ones started about a month ago. They had all the look and feel
of eBay, so I clicked on the link that was posted in the email, and when
I got to the site, I noticed that the url was
www.cancelations.com/eBay/index.html or something like that. The "eBay"
was not in the site name. I became suspicious and canceled out of it.
The more recent ones have much more realistic (and complicated urls),
and they seem to know that I was at their site, and tell me how urgent
it is that I reconfirm my credit card info.
I took the link again, and again was at a site that looked very much
like eBay -- all the eBay links worked and took me to various eBay
pages. It asked me to login to eBay, so I did, but with a bogus
password. Not to my surprise, the bogus password worked just fine.
These guys are getting good at this.
