Ebay - IMPORTANT!!!!!

[WoobieZarz]

Is this legit?

I've got a hunch it's just another SCAM, and I've decided against actioning it. BUt has anyone see things like this?

Email from "Ebay":

Subject = Celebrate with eBay!

Fromt = eBay Inc" <aw-confirm@ebay.com>

"Win an Ebay Gift Certificate"

"In order to win a Gift Certificate of 150$ you have to stay signed in on

eBay more than 10 minutes today.

Click on the button below to go directly to ebay and start the count down"

<BUTTON HERE>

eBay Inc. ramdomly extract the winners on 25-05-2006

Will anounce the winners via e-mail on the same day with extraction

Will be 3000 gift certificate winners

It's funny that the winners are extracted on 25/5..... It's the 31st today!! #-o

Click on the button, and this link appears...

Its a fake. You can tell by the domain name: mail.esf.ru some russian scamming site

My thoughts too!!! (with russian link).

we get emails like it all the time at work, only it's usually National Bank. Which we filled out one day, put in dodgey details to see what happend. NOT A THING!!! Didnt even say the details were confirmed!!!

You can imagine the amount of Joe Blogs people sitting at home not having a clue....

I have been getting the National Banks ones as well. Haven't had an ebay one for a while though.

Best way to tell is that Ebay will put your registered email name in the email, and that the email will appear in your Ebay messages as well.
