The eBay spoof email spam of the day: today I received an email with this subject line: "You've received an answer to your question about item 50 Acre island in South
Pacific." Click into the email and it's a fake response to an "ask seller a question" I never asked:
Dear julia wilkinson, Please make up your mind, or i will report you as a non paying bidder! John |
Do a mouseover on the embedded link, and you can see it links to an url with a redirect. Even the first part of the url looks legit. But if you look closely the rest of the url is a scam.
Just remember to mouse over these urls if you're ever not sure if it's legit. In this case, the subject line looked off, too.
"50 Acre island in South Pacific"? I wish!
ReplyDeleteI got this one today and suspected a scam. Whenever I get these I'm curious as to what that scam is but don't want to follow the links to find out.
