New eBay scam?

**PeteLeathersac** · #1 04-19-2006, 05:27 PM

I got an email this morning that's an exact mimic message of one of eBay's 'My Messages' but it doesn't appear in the 'My Messages' of my actual eBay account when I check. . It's better than any previous attempts I've seen w/ good grammar and everything and is a question from a supposed buyer of a camera asking me if I'm scamming him by not shipping his item yet??? . My account doesn't appear to be hi-jacked or anything amiss also I've never even set my account up as a seller before and it doesn't look like anyone else has? . Anything in the message I click on starts to load some program which I dumped before it loaded. . I'm gonna' leave all alone and hope it was just a phisher attempt....friggin' scammers, anyone get one of these yet? . Be careful out there! .

I keep getting a reciept of payment from Paypal.
They have my full name, and look very official.
It reads that someone has paid for some electrical stuff, and it is shipping overseas.
They want me to click on a little "dispute tab" which I assume leads to their phishing page.

They are getting very sneaky with this stuff.
BE CAREFUL
