Dumb ebay scam

[kiltman]

I got this email from ebay asking me to respond by clicking the link.

 

(Question from buyer)

 

Hi, i`m Siegfried Dowtson and i want to know if you can ship overnight to Las Vegas, Nevada 89153. Do you accept checks or paypal? I want this for my fiance because next Saturday it`s her birthday and i`m little nervous about this present. Thank You so much!

 

Item name: Urban Retro Sweatjacke Khaki Gr.11-12J/146-152 NEU

Item number: 6809799197

End date: Oct-13-05 02:52:49 PDT

 

Nervous about buying her a hoody?

Does seem a bit unusual buying a hoody from across the Atlantic when one should be available where he is, but the note doesn't scream scam to be honest...

Well i checked out the item number and its a seller in germany. It was asking in the email to click this link to reply.

 

When i click the link to make sure it is a scam it leads me to the ebay login page. But if you look at the URL its this.

I take it all back, Kilt. It's one of the stupidest ebay scams I've ever heard of.

Yeh, but people WILL fall for it.

But when I put fake info into it it recognizes it as fake

Well it is a fake site after all. I suspect you would have gotten the same response if you had used your real login.

 

Is it just me or does anyone else like to have a little fun and leave messages for the scammer in the login info? Sometimes I'll sit there for hours and flood them with insulting messages.

FYI, I have heard that just visiting the web site of some scams, will infect your computer with a keylogger or other virus/programs. Sometimes the act of clicking on a link in an e-mail is enough to compromise your machine.
