Just to clarify something...
I sell stuff on Ebay and they do have a feature for selling to the
guy who came in second if you get stiffed by the winner. However, I
have only had to use this feature once in all the stuff I've sold
there. If you get a message like the one below be very wary but
I had something similar on a bid I made once. After a while, I got a
message that a higher bid came in on the item, but when the item ended,
I didn't get the expected "you've lost the bid", but actually I won the
bid, with the explaination that the winner withdrew his bid. And to
assure you: I

I suspect that the seller had someone put a shill bid in to drive the price

on a camera. The seller contacted me and told me that the winner couldn't
come up with the money. I was already uneasy and the whole thing started

Got to be a spoof. The domain 'aw-signin.150m' is not an eBay one. If
you go here:
Interestingly the file that downloads is a JS file without an
extension. It should produce a "realistic" eBay signin page but it has
no extension. Signin there and it e-mails your user ID and password
somewhere else entirely.

I just never respond to any "ebay" or "paypal" emails and report them to
ebay or paypal. None of them have been legit.

One quick way to pick up on something like that being
fake - What would have tipped me off is the "Respond
Now" button. I don't think Ebay puts that in emails
any more - there's just a grayed out box saying
"Respond to this in 'My Messages'", and it's not even
a link.

Jay,
I got a similar message out of the UK.
When I tried to look for the sender, it said that AOL user was busy.
When I clicked the "Respond Now" button, it asked for a log-in.
That's when I quit.
The easy way to check those is on your My Ebay.
It lists your My Messages.
When I check, nothing was
If you get an email from eBay or PayPal that asks you to click on a
link, and you haven't specifically requested it, rest assured it is
fraudulent. I spend several hours a day running down these 'phishing' scams.
