OK, here is my 2 cents worth...
Most of these things act as if you are logging on to an real site. Really, they are stealing you login and password. Now they got ya!
1. Never give out passwords or account information.
2. Look at the actual source of the email - not that it just looks like it came from eBay or Paypal or any banking institute.
3. I have heard that some overseas eBay sellers are sending fake Paypal logins too… just a rumor…
If you are not sure how to do that…
Do not input you real account or login the first time. If it accepts it, it is obviously a bogus site! (They do not know your account and password, they are just trying to steal it).
They will soon figure out that people are doing this, so you may want to input a bogus password the second time. If it is still rejecting you, then use you actual account and password on the third try.
Call me over cautious… but I would rather be safe than sorry.
