Today I received my first eBay phishing email. The banking institutions and Paypal scams come fairly frequently. Following through with one of these eBay scams can really be costly.
The email looks like this:
As soon as I clicked on the link Google popped up a nice alert telling me that this page is probably a scam.
The scam page looks like this
The URL was not nearly as clever as what I typically see with Paypal phishing scams
The domain lessmann-five.de belongs to Thomas Lessmann in Germany. I wrote to the domain hosting company to see if they would shut down the site. It is likely that Thomas has nothing to do with this scam and the perpretrator has hacked into his server and created the fake eBay page.
Just be careful.
