Another eBay Phishing Scam

Just a couple of hours ago, we received another sample email related to eBay phishing scam.

Only this time, it is more straightforward and from 72 hours of not verifying the information emailed, it was lessened to 48 hours until the account will be suspended by ‘them’. See the sample email below.




Notice again the difference between the displayed url in the email and the destination url? That should make you think that something ‘phishy’ is going on, at least. And what’s more suspicious about the website is the fact that it mentions

“All the data is protected by the industry standard SSL encryption”

whereas, the session is only using http protocol!

Conlusion
As we are all aware of, it was in the year 2003 where we have seen the proliferation of eBay phishing scams where users receive emails that alert them to verify and update their account information within the specified time, else the account will be suspended.

It seems like a lot are still being fooled by this scam that’s why many fake eBay sites are still being set-up, online, and ready to steal away your identity, anytime you choose to be!
