Since eBay gets mentioned here quite often, I'll give everybody a
heads up.

I got an email yesterday purporting to be from eBay. It said that my
information with them had become inaccurate or outdated and that my
buying and/or selling privileges would be suspend within 5 days if I
didn't respond. I checked to see what this was about and it is a VERY
eBayish looking website in Ecuador. They quote terms of service and
agreement terms, but the amount and nature of information they
requested caused me to doubt the site.

It is a fraudulent site seeking to secure any and all information from
uses with respect to passwords, bank information, and a lot of other
info.

If you receive one of these, don't respond to any questions and
forward the URL on to

duh!

Duh, what. Trust me, that site looked real enough to fool a lot of
people.... the url even looked like it went to ebay.com. Many people,
involved in a hot auction, will knee-jerk first and think about
security concerns next.... too late. Then too, not everybody has the
necessary software or know-how to trace the perp back to their
computer and verify they were bogus. Apparently, they have bolted or
eBay has already shut them down.
