I just received the following email, suppoosedly from ebay...

Question about Item #547414276682 - Respond Now

eBay sent this message on behalf of an eBay member through My Messages.
Dear member,

eBay



clicking their link takes you to what appears to be an EBAy signon panel but with the following URL..
http://lungii.com/wp-content/themes/modularity/includes/cache/wsseBay293120841258/

looks like a fairly unsophisticated Phishing attempt to get userids and passwords. Just thought it was something our membership might like to avoid.

When I get this sort of message, I go directly to ebay and check my Messages in my Account.

Best way to avoid and scammers/phishers.

Meanwhile, jacko, thanks for the heads up...
