RE: OT E-Bay

They are getting pretty sophisticated with scams these days. Don't ever
click on a link in an email of that type. If you think it's legit from your
bank or whatever - then type it in by hand. Or call them. And now there are
even voice scams like that - they call it "vishing" - see here:

Note the part about faking the caller ID. Be careful out there...

It's a scam mail. I bet it tells you to click on a link to verify something,
right? If you do you get sent to a fake Ebay page that asks for things like
social securtiy numbers and bank account info. Just delete it!


That's what I expected, and just what I did.  It was a surprise, though.
