is that a prank, or what...?

dgridley · 05-01-2005, 12:59 PM

Forwarded the url to spoof@ebay.com... good catch!

Definitely a phishing site...

Mystic · 05-01-2005, 01:00 PM

i also forwarded

Scott · 05-01-2005, 01:28 PM

I contacted the host, the datacenter, or at least the guys who own the IP.

They're Spanish (and in Spain) so it was hard to contact them, but I sent an English version, and a Babelfish translated version. Hopefully they won't be up for too long.

Sabre · 05-01-2005, 01:38 PM

A phishing site to be sure... sad how people do stuff like that...

Humdizzy · 05-01-2005, 01:50 PM

I filled it all out using 5. I even chose the 5th U.S. state as where I live. Lol and 55555 as my pin number

Nice catch! Contacted Ebay vero via phone.

Chris · 05-01-2005, 04:18 PM

I just reported it to eBay as well....

It's a very common scam, I've received several of the emails in the past. The problem with tracking them down is that they move so fast from one domain to another and they use bogus information so it makes it very difficult for them to be traced. That domain was just registered on 4/30 and has all jumbled up letters for the whois information. That will be up for a day or two and then they will take it down and there will be more that pops up.

I feel bad for those innocent folks who aren't aware of the scam and fall for their dirty trick.

Stephen · 05-01-2005, 04:19 PM

I get several of these from people playing to be ebay a week... Just forward them to Ebay, delete, and forget.
