More phishing eBay emails...

Seems I get about 3-5 of these a week any more... Never click on a link within an eMail purporting to be from eBay, copy and paste it into a text editor and make sure it's not routing you to an anonymous ip address in this case: 200.211.73.11 ... If you do and fill out the form as directed some crook somewhere will have your Credit Card and the ability to bid on auctions for you. Isn't that nice of them?

Place or Update Credit Card on File

Dear eBay Customer ,

This is your final warning about the safety of your eBay account. If you do not update your billing informations your access on eBay will be restricted and the user deleted. This might be due to either following reasons:

- A recent change in your personal information (i.e. change of address)
- Submiting invalid information during the initial sign up process.
- An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due an internal error within
our processors.


Your credit card on file with eBay

Card number: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-4322 (Not shown for security purposes) Expiration date: 11/05

Please sign in to your eBay account and update your billing information:

< http://200.211.73.14/.signin.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPIdllSignIn.php >http://signin.ebay.com/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn&ssPageName=h:h:sin:US" >

If your account information is not updated, your ability to sell or bid on eBay will become restricted.

Thank you,
eBay Billing Department
