This was an interesting email that I received tonight:
Dear eBay customer,
Due to our new services you have to pay your eBay fees.You can pay with your credit/debit card. We will ask for your credit/debit card only once.We will charge your account once per month.However you will receive a confirmation request in about 24 hours after the credit/debit card is authorized.You have 24 hours from the time you'll receive the e-mail to complete this eBay Request.
Note:Ignoring this message will cause eBay TKO Suspension notice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To make the funds payable to us please use this link:
http://signin.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?OneTimePayment&ssPageName=h:h:sin:US
I was ever so pleased when, just for fun, I clicked the link and this is what I saw:
The host signin-asapidll-redirect.servehttp.com has been disabled due to violation of our terms of service
You are getting this page because the site you tried accessing was involved in a Fraudlent Phishing scheme.
What is a phishing scheme?
The ultimate goal of a phishing scheme is to gather customer infomration such as usernames, passwords, social security numbers, and credit card numbers. The main way they do this and probably how you reached this site is through spoofed email. The email claims to be from a website or company asking for you to login or provide them with some other confidential information.
So, thanks, Vitalwerks Internet Solutions, LLC for keeping aware and pulling the plug on an internet fraudster.
