I didn't fall for it, since to begin with bad grammar was used in the e-mail. I clicked the link and it came to a very slickly done ebay looking page. The second Netscape didn't remember my member name and password, I knew it was fake and reported them to ebay. Be very careful, and don't give out any info. Just a heads up.,,,,98

Please do not reply to this e-mail as this is only a notification. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered.

 

NEVER click links in emails from any type of financial or retail institution. I get emails from my credit card companies every month telling me my statement is ready and to 'click here to log in'. DO NOT get in the habit of clicking that link! Delete the email and then go to the website through your regular bookmark.

People get taken because they don't think. If you blindly click on every link in your email inbox, you deserve to be taken. Sorry but I'm harsh and intolerant. If I offended any of you it's because I hit a nerve. Oh well.

 

yeh i got one similar to that last week saying my account has been disable due to like some kinda fraudulent something or another. lol and i got this e-mail while bidding on an item. so i click on the link and it wanted me to enter my username and password so i can log in to fill out a form to see if u find this in error. and the website it linked me to was hopped through a server in china. the copyright read like All Rights Reserved copy right ?1996-2004 lol. and there was no secure site emblem. so i just sent them fools an e-mail saying haha nice try.... atleast try to make ur login screen look realistic. it was from reply@reply3ebay.com or something like that
