phishing under cover of eBay: beware

This came in via email this AM: looks pretty authentic, doesn’t it?

Ebay Phishing-1

Now, if this were straight up, you’d think I would be alerted while I was logged into my eBay page: I am and I wasn’t. So I’m guessing this is bogus.

Let’s see: what other clues are there?

  • My user name doesn’t appear, nor does my real name (ie, how they would have me recorded in their billing records)
  • Misspellings (departement?) are a tipoff: something like this would probably have been looked over by a lawyer or three, to say nothing of the accounting staff, and various others.
  • And the secure.ebay.com link goes to “http://site2.apollohosting.com/mmstech.net/httpdocs/” not eBay.

I spell a scam. Don’t you fall for it or anything similar.
