New Ebay Phishing scam - Look here if you use it.
Quote:
Security researchers have uncovered a campaign of targeted spam messages that seek to defraud eBay sellers. Cybercrooks are targeting eBay sellers by sending forged auction inquires from what appears to be eBay's "Question from eBay Member" message portal, according to US-based security reseller Greenview Data, which markets the SpamStopsHere junk mail filtering service.
The junk mail messages seek to dupe account holders into following a "Respond Now" link button in the email which directs users to a fraudulent eBay login screen. Once the seller has entered their login information, fraudsters "hijack" the seller's account and steal their identity.

Yet another one doing the rounds at the moment asking you to update your billing information due to security and fraud risks.....But of course this is a scam in its self. Ebay dont ask for this information via e-mail.
It re-directs to another site so be careful if you get that in your inbox any time soon.
Most are easy to tell they are scams as they are so badly worded.

Paul's sister got one of these scam emails last year - when you clicked on one of the links it took you to an Eastern European foot fetish site.......
