BEWARE: Ebay scam!! This one almost had me fooled :|

[DAWeinG]

I just got an email from "verification@ebay.com" asking me to verify my account. I had my suspicions because of the poorly formatted email (It was in large type and wrong font). Clicking on the link they asked me to go to was a verification site that looked almost like ebay asking for CC info. I right-clicked properties and saw that the site address was http://ebay.0rders.com. The "O" in orders is a "0" (zero).

I tried to do a search for it but didn't come up with anything. And I know that a lot of people on here use ebay so beware!!

Well for starters the page is NOT a secure site. Anyone who puts in THAT much personal info on an unsecured page is a retard anyway.

Anyone who falls for scams like this is ... well, nevermind, I won't comment on that. Let's just say I would never trust such an email that has so many spelling/grammar mistakes, suspicious font/nature of email, etc. It seems blatantly obvious to me...
