Scammer's seem to be flocking to my inbox now. This is most odd. Here's one from a guy who claims to be from ebay.
Dear eBay Member,
We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your eBay account from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe that your account was used by a third party without your authorization. If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual login attempts may have been initiated by you
The login attempt was made from:
IP address: 172.25.210.66
ISP Host: cache-66.proxy.aol.com
By now, we used many techniques to verify the accuracy of the information our users provide us when they register on the Site. However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, eBay cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity. Thus, we have established an offline verification system o help you evaluate with who you are dealing with.
Refresh my memory, do they not use the name you give them in any emails they send to you?
Here's another clue. My hotmail gave me this nice bit at the top of the page:
" The sender of this message,
aw-confirm@ebay.com, could not be verified by Sender ID. Learn more about Sender ID."
Then there's the link that they ask you to go to that you might verify the transaction. >www.dollarz.job-secretary.com/DOLLARZ/English/example/3.htm<
Reeks of scamminess.
