Ebay Trick # 22 : Beware of Fake Emails
Probably the biggest eBay-related scam is the fake email—commonly called a spoof or phishing scheme. This scam comes in the form of an official-looking email message, purportedly from eBay or PayPal. These fake emails, typically seek to inform you about some problem with your account, and request that you update your personal information to avoid having your account canceled. When you click on the link in the message, you go to a web page that looks like the eBay or PayPal site, and you’re provided with a form to fill out; said form usually asks for your name, address, user name, password, and credit card information.
