Forward it to Ebay, there is an address on the site where all security concerns go.

these phishing attempts are getting ridicolous. I got an email from some bank asking me to log on and provide my bank card info. The bank was legit, but the link in the email took me someplace else. Plus I never had an account with that bank. So I logged in as "SUCKMYASS" as username and "youreastupidmoron" as my password. I updated my card info with similar vulgar terms and then it forwarded me to the real bank site, after recording all the info I input.

There was emails going around for all kinds of banks saying they are updating their software and for you to enter you info. Scammers!!!

That was the first thing I did. I can see how some computer illiterate people (or people who simply dont care) could easily get caught by one of these.

Whenever I get a pfishing mail I reply (through a phony account on Starbucks server) with all kinds of phony info, credit card numbers, non exhistent pin numbers. etc. Maybe it will tie them up with bullshit and keep someone else from getting bombed. :fm:
