Sorry for the off-topic post, but both my brother and my parents got
burnt by this so I thought I would let all you know so you can inform
your family members..
Some guy is setting up a site at various webhosting places and then
sending out spam that looks like it's coming from ebay. You enter in
your ebay username and password and then click submit and it takes you
to another ebay looking page that asks for various info including your
account numbers and your paypal password.
The funny thing about this is, the fool is trying to now sell
snowmobiles (probably fraud, just wants to get the $4k and run) with my
parents stolen ebay account.
Here's some interesting stuff... From the bogus ebay email if you look
at the submit line for the form:
<FORM name=3Dsignup onsubmit=3D"return Valid(this)"=20
action=3Dhttp://scgi.ebay.com.saw-
cgi.eBayISAPI.dll.RegisterEnterInfo.Reg=

You can see that's made to look like ebay but it really goes to
netfirms.com. This was the one my brother got. The one my parents got
was from a different hosting place.
Also, my sister-in-law sent the guy an email about his auction and she
got a reply.. here's his header info:

And finally... here's his auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?
ViewItem&category=42597&item=2441935799
We've already contacted ebay, and both my parents and brother are
taking action to get their accounts disabled and/or changed. Any help
getting this dirtbag would be a big help :)
