eBay Phishing
But.. I do not buy or sell, nor have I ever bought or sold, a thing on eBay... Hmmm…
Ah! A link! (which reads, “View the dispute thread to respond”)
So, I hover my mouse over the link and see that it leads to…

&existingEmail=&isCheckout=&migrateVisitor=
which traces back to “Cheap Web Hosting By Directi”.
Or.. I can just look at the WOT “red doughnut” warning.
Folks.. be suspicious of everything on the Internet. And then be suspicious again. Paranoid is good.
… another clue is, I think only spammers use “required” in e-mail subject lines..

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.
