I'm not sure about you guys. But i've been getting fake email from ebay and paypal asking me to confirm my account information. And when you click on there link provided, if brings you to a site that logs your account name and password. This online stuff has been getting me concern about my credit card information on the net. Just a heads-up for all of you who shop online. >frown.gif>
man, don't even click on those links. That shows them the email addy is real
Yeah I've gotten those Paypal ones at work alot, they look real, says they see suspicious activity on your account and to do something and what not. First time I saw it I went directly to paypal (not using provided link) just to double check. Nothing strange, so figured scam.

I think I read something about this, saying they use different character sets with the same letters (which have different computer codes) to make the url look real. So if you ever get one, don't click on the provided link if you are suspicious.
i have the eBay toolbar on my internet explorer and it pops up in red saying its a scam. dont click on it!
you should forward them to spoof@ebay.com

everyone has gotten them one time or another
