i have a joe porper cue on ebay and i just received two "question for item #" emails. here is the first from geocek:

PLEASE DON"T CLICK ON THE LINKS

Hello, My name is Grosvenor Hutton. I just saw this item of yours and I remember seeing the same item two days ago, take a look: http://3392319564/ebay/?ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200085847636

and here is the second from ebay member ggvette88 in lorraine france:

Hello, My name is Isolda Coveney. I just saw this item of yours and I remember seeing the same item two days ago, take a look: http://3392319564/ebay/?ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200085847636

when i click on the link windows tells me"
" This is a reported phishing website
http://202.50.176.76/ebay/?ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200085847636

Internet Explorer has determined that this is a reported phishing website. Phishing websites impersonate other sites and attempt to trick you into revealing personal or financial information.
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website."

and i close the page. i have forwarded both emails to spoof@ebay.com amd am waiting to see what i get for an answer.

Yea I just recieved the same 2 emails as well. I love how people think they can try to get away with this stuff. Sad thing is there is so many people out there that dont know about this. I wish there was a way to let everyone know about this.
 
Takes you to a sign-in page that looks like the ebay sign-in page.

This is very very easy to do and very hard for ebay to stop. All ebay can do is shut them down one at a time, but another will open as soon as one is shut down. It is up to the individual to protect himself when it comes to stuff like this.
 
Honestly I think that ebay should have some kind of annoying pop up(that cant be blocked) that will pop up everytime that someone goes to their website informing people to NEVER click on any link outside of ebay, and to respond to all messages using the respond now button generated in all legit ebay messages. I think that would cut down alot on everyones names getting stolen cause of these lame excuse of idiot humans. Thats just an idea even tho I myself hate pop ups but I'd rather see that kind of pop up rather than an advertising pop up. Thats just an opinion on how they could help to cut down on stolen names.
 
Thanks for the link.

I clicked on it to see what my browser would do, and McAfee gave me the big warning. Never seen it do it before, so I guess I am protected :)
 
I have oftened wondered about those links on here directing us to a EBAY item. There have been many times that I have used the button to put on my watch list and then I have to sign it. Afterwards I thought that I may have given someone my PW. I now sign into Ebay before going to those links so it is already open for me.
 
I clicked on the first link and it took me to an ebay sign in page... then a warning about 'suspect web forgery' thing...

Same sent to me also

I got the same two questions sent to me as well, on my auction for a Scruggs sneaky . My link is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...MESE:IT&viewitem=&item=250094728930&rd=1&rd=1
I only replied to the question & did not click the link They sent me, I did post my response on my auction. If you do a advanced search for their item # it comes up (0) found.

When I replied to the question I stated to both of them "No!!!! now go away!!!!do not try to use my images you will be reported!!"
I got a response from the first link
They just sent me another question telling me to "F**k Off not interested"
