I am browsing eBay and click on a link to an auction and here's where it takes me Text
How do they pull it off?

WARNING! Do not attempt to log in!

You should put a warning NOT to input any username or password info on the page to which you linked. I had to look twice before noticing the url.

maybe he wanted you to put in the information. . .

Interestingly, when you enter a username/password on that page, it doesn't redirect you back to the auction - or even to eBay. Anyone who's not an idiot would realize it at that point and change their password.

No, you click on the auction title and it takes you to the auction page which immediately redirects you to that page. I assume. Post the search query you used and some indication of which auction it is.

Again, it's not a plain 'ole email phishing bait. I was browsing eBAY, clicked on an auction and got redirected to the scam site.

*sigh*

eBay techs should already be aware of that page & taken it down. Bunch of lazy nobodies over there, I guess. Even my small-time web site gives me stats on what outside pages are using images on my server.
