Bogus Web Content? Yes
URL of web content http://milleru.bizhat.com/l
RISK LEVEL MEDIUM
WARNINGS 1. Email claims to be from eBay asking you to confirm your account data by clicking on the link. You will be taken to a spoof login page where your details will be captured by the phishers.
2. eBay never send users emails requesting details in this way.
3. URL of spoof website disguised by a button that says "Submit in securely".
4. Spoof website traced to Maharashtra, India.
5. Real URL obviously NOT eBay.
" Dear eBay member, You have received this email because you or someone else had used your identity to make false purchases on eBay. "
If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
