I know a lot of folks use Ebay on this list. So, I thought I would pass on
this warning:
I got an email (seemingly through Ebay) that was from some guy asking me it
the car I recently sold (which I had) was still for sale. The email looked
just like an Ebay email does. I was going to answer him thinking everything
was OK because I was using the Ebay "Respond" button in the email. This of
course causes the Ebay "Sign In" to come up. Normally my Ebay User Name
comes up and all I have to do was fill in the Password. This time there was
no User Name pre filled in the box. It seemed a bit strange and... I looked
up to see that the internet address did not look like the Ebay sign in
address (though it had the Ebay emblem in the address bar).
I quickly closed the page. I was a few keystrokes away from thinking I was
answering a legitimate Ebay question - but giving the guy my Password
instead. A quick check of my Ebay account "In Box" showed the guy had never
sent the email through Ebay!!!
