New Insidious Phish INSIDE Ebay
logged into ebay, searched for AIWA reel to reel . Got three hits,
clicked on the first one titled VGC AIWA 3-HEAD REEL-TO-REEL - MDL TP-1011 The Ebay log on screen came up, but it had that 'made in china' look to it. So I clicked on the next listing, opened fine. Clicked on the third and fourth listings, both opened fine. Clicked again on the first one, up comes the log on screen. Talk about a bunch of no good *******s! I would love to cut the nuts off the ****heel that did this. I entered some gibberish username and password, and the 'this listing has been discontinued' Ha. Sure it has. Beware. regards, Tom ps, the listing is STILL up, go take a look! Just search for AIWA reel to reel |

New Insidious Phish INSIDE Ebay
Did you report it to eBay?
I gotta admit, eBay is really going downhill fast. Between the thousands of fake Ralph Lauren "cashmere" sweaters now being sold by overseas counterfeiters (they're acrylic not cashmere) to this clown: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=120019267094 Yes, for only $6.50 you too can buy a LINK to a company that sells this video card (anyone can type '7800GS+' into Google and get the exact same link for free). I reported this one and eBay responded that this kind of ripoff is not against any of their policies. Two morons have already paid the guy his $6.50 so far. Never could stop natural selection, and never will I guess. "t.hoehler" wrote in message ... logged into ebay, searched for AIWA reel to reel .

"ScottL" wrote in message ink.net... Did you report it to eBay? Yes I did, and twenty minutes later, the listing was gone. I told them I wanted an answer to my email, we'll see. regards, Tom |

What was the URL of the counterfeit logon screen? (2) Is there any way a legitimate eBay listing could require logon to see it? Can people designate their listings as visible to subscribers only? |

(1) Yes it was phishing, as the login url was not genuine. The logon page was not even convincing looking. Close but no cigar. Had that cheap ass look to it. Different fonts, charactor spacing, icon size, etc. And it opened using gibberish usernames and passwords. (2) No way does Ebay require or allow this. Whether you are a sub or a non sub, you can browse to your heart's content. As greedy as Ebay is, you KNOW they wouldn't allow this! Good questions, both. regards, tom |
