BEWARE: Apparent eBay scam

[dwf1004]

OK all...

If you are an eBay'er (or not, for all that it matters), and you happen to get this email, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, follow through on its request. I took a look at it on receipt, and clicked the link to check out the valifity, and the link that came up in my address bar started out as:

http://213.212.208.46/~m****a/.... (too long to copy, let alone care about!)

So, heads up to my EBMM folk...DO NOT follow through on this!

I've attached a copy of the message appearance to prepare you for what you will see.

Thank you.

Also beware when purchasing or buying items from outside US. Some places like Pakistan (I believe) and South America, have high fraudulent rates on Ebay transactions and other sites. There is a rise in this new crime and ID theft. I located a listing for a SR5 on ebay from Pakistan and was thinking this might be a scam of some sort. You will be a safer by purchasing/buying in US.
