[Tigers] Ebay email warning

[Thomas Witt]

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!!!
