We have received a sample email of eBay phishing scam.
In an attempt to fool the recipient of the email to follow the hyperlink provided (see sample email below), it disguises as if it originates from eBay Safeharbor Department and notifies the eBay member that someone might have been using his/her account and will be suspended on the next 72 hours, unless updated.
Sample Email
If the unsuspected user clicks the hyperlink, he/she will be redirected to this page.
Notice the difference between the displayed url in the email and the destination url, it’s very different right? This should be suspicious enough not to disclose any critical information on the site. But, if the unaware user continues to enter his/her account information, he/she will end up on this page (see below).
If the still unaware user proceeds to disclose very critical information such as those asked above, the next time that he receives a notification email from eBay might just get real!
