Moments ago I received a nasty new eBay phishing scam message in my e-mail. I wanted to post this right away and try to get the information out there on this scam as soon as possible.
This one claims to be a message from a fellow eBay member called ‘cdaniel’ and makes claims about someone using your eBay account to make charges on his credit card. He talks about taking legal action in order to stir up a little panic in his victims.
The eBay member name he used in the message I received was ‘cdaniel’ and it is possible that he will use other phony eBay member names as well.
This is not a message from an eBay member, it is a scam designed to get victims to visit his web site and make them believe they are on the eBay web site so he can capture eBay username and password information.
To verify that you have no messages from other eBay members, simply log in to your eBay account (make sure you go the actual eBay site and not some phishing site!) and check for messages there.
To see the message I received, check the bottom of my Phishing Scam page.
