Your quote with the email has the spoofed URL instead of the actual target.

With most browsers, even copying a shortcut from the malformed link will copy the spoofed URL instead of the actual target.

but I also posted the true URL. There is some javascript on that page and I don't care to decode at the moment. I just wanted to warn people in case they get the same email. I was selling some items on eBay and just got used to clicking on every email that had to do with eBay :eek:

My URL was not malicious. A virus scanner may report it as such because I might be using the spoofed URL to ask you for your password...which I didn't.
