Phishing Scam, I constantly receive from some loser this scam trying
to get information about my banking and credit card accounts and I almost
always get one from eBay after I win a bid and from PayPal after I pay for the Ebay
purchace. If i pay by credit card separate from PayPal I do not get Phished.
One time my wife got the same message after purchasing something on Ebay and
actually followed the link and put in her ID and password for ebay before she
told me what she had done. Luckly only a few minutes had passed and we were
able to change her ID and password before any damage was done. Alway check
your My Ebay as all official emails will be seen there and NEVER use a hyperlink
to access your account or the site. If you just put the cursor on this
hyperlink you will see a bunch of letters and number before the letters AOL.
