Nasty spam


Just got this email claiming to be from ebay. The link asks you for ebay login and pass and a credit card number. Nasty.I took a screen shot of the body.

Pat yourself on the back for putting that marker down. Brain cells can save money.

Interesting email, the weirdest one I've received is from one called 'Spamoman - Want to stop spam?'

Ya... I get those too from Ebay, Paypal and Citibank. You have to be on your guard. Ebay or Paypal will not request this information via email. Question any email you get asking for personal information. If you have a concern regarding your accounts, go their site then access your account info through there. Do not go through the email links, it's a redirected link. The Citibank one I got recently goes to a Chinese site.
