Another ebay scam

[hrunting]

Earlier this week, my boss was having problems with ebay, and called them for support. Today, he received an email (he thought has from ebay), asking to confirm some info. He forwarded it to his wife to take care of.

Here's the form:
http://www.ebayassistant.tk

She called him after she submitted the form, saying something like "I filled out that form for you. But after I hit the button, I noticed the lock wasn't on the screen. I hope everything is OK"

He's in the process of canceling his credit cards now.

Moral of the story - Be careful of any email you get from E-Bay.

Edit:
The http://www.ebayassistant.tk was simply a frameset pointing to an AOL page. IT looks like AOL took down that page.

EDIT:
Uh Oh, the form is back up. This time the page points to http://members.aol.com/trfol/pizzahut.htm

i thought ebay had a billion warnings not to use any links except the official ones, don't people even pay attention to what web site they are attached to?

Moral of the story - Don't forward important crap to be done to your wife.
