Right now a spambot is throwing out emails like this one:

Looks legit? Well, if you get one.. take a look at the actual mail headers.. and the IPs .. This is an ID-harvesting scam.

Anyways, are you completely sure you filled in the right info in your profile at ebay..? Of course not..

But going there in order to fix things will send you to
http://www.ashleydesign.net/_vti_log/i/
which of course is NOT eBay at all.

If you try to go to the ashley design main page.. the tricksters have a redirect to http://www.we-will-track-you.com/

The redirect code looks like this:

Code:
<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"><meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0"><meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document"><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">redirTime = "2";redirURL = "http://www.we-will-track-you.com";function redirTimer() { self.setTimeout("self.location.href = redirURL;",redirTime); }</script></head><BODY onLoad="redirTimer()"><p>&nbsp;<p></head></body></html>


The email mesage header is amusing..

Code:
<nobody@victory.webpartner.dk>
Received: from mac.com (smtpin20-en2 [10.13.11.248]) by ms54.mac.com (iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 Patch 2 (built Jul 14 2004)) with ESMTP id <0ICZ00LJHYIPXA@ms54.mac.com> for xxxx@mac.com; Mon, 07 Mar 2005 11:37:37 -0800 (PST)

Message-Id: <200503071937.j27JbWib022310@victory.webpartner.dk>

I have of course put in xxxx@mac.com instead of my real email addie..

Yeah, I got one. I figured it was phony because I have a perfect rating and haven't bid on anything in months. I sent Ebay a copy. What weasels!

I get stuff like this every day.

Any email from a financial or commercial interest that has a link for "verification of your account" in it is obviously fraudulent and should be deleted.
