Mark, the problem is that's not good enough. A friend just sent me another
sample of the scam; the link in the email shows as
http://cgi3.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn
which is actually the legitimate eBay URL.
However, through the miracle of HTML, what you see is not what you get, the
actual link is
"http://cgi3.ebay.com:aw-cgieBayISAPI.dllSignInRegisterEnterInfo&siteid=
0co_partnerid=2@e3bay.home7.dk3.com/"
which is a redirect to a phony sign-in page.
