It is particularly bad on ebay tonight. I saw the naked babe thing when I was browsing through "Barracuda". Got the fake ebay iD pop up. Weird because I usually have pop ups blocked. Also ran into the ones where the $30k cars are $5000 "buy it now". One was a 57 Desoto from "Duffy's" in colorado. The "Duffy's" building awning with the name on it was prominantly displayed behind the car. What a lazy criminal. He has also hijacked the ID of some mom and pop antique business. Hummel porcelin figures and then some heavyweight cl***ic cars. This sounds like the work of ENRON doesn't it? We're becoming a nation harr***ed by thieves with computer skills. Didn't these people have parents or were they raised by woilves? ****ity-****-****-****!
I have the eBay Toolbar - it's very, very good at spotting s**** sites & phishing web pages. I don't run it normally because I have too many toolbars already! But when one of these email phishing scams does get through and it looks reasonably official, I can still ususally tell by looking at the link properties - if it's still "iffy", I'll load up eBay toolbar & click the link. I always refresh the page if the toolbar doesn't ID it right away. There will be a red banner & it will forward you to a "report this site" dialogue box...I often will just use the toolbar to report the sites as quickly as they come in... If you're getting a lot of these & you're not comfortable enough to figure the links out, get the toolbar.
When it happens to me it launched a trojan virus as well. http://www.nsra.org.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=21153
Mannnnnnnn, Even I get the phishing ads asking me to verify my PayPal info. Funny thing................I DONT HAVE A PAYPAL Account!!!!!!!!!! Buwahahhahahaha............. I just delete every message from them as e-bay doesnt send out messages like that.
what kinda trojan virus was it? ya remember? if i did find a scam site, it was on my dad's computer and i'd like to fix it...
