The following image is a capture of an email I received this morning.  When I <em>moused over<\/em> the link to take me to the eBay form, I saw that it did not in fact lead to ebay.com, but instead to cgi.ebay.com.jiki.com.mx &#8212; a fraud site.  You could use the mouseover method I employed, or just open your web browser and go to Ebay to check your account.  <strong>Do not click the link in the email! <\/strong> Also, you could forward the email to spoof@ebay.com for analysis.  <\/p>\n<p>These principles apply to any email you receive, especially those purporting to be from e-commerce sites, banks or other financial institutions.  Sadly, neither Postini nor the Outlook 2007 spam filter quarantined this message.  Remember, YOU are the last line of defense against fraudsters.   <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_169\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-169\" src=\"http:\/\/tfr.info-safety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/ebay-fraud-1024x369.jpg\" alt=\"Phishing Email\" title=\"ebay-fraud\" width=\"1024\" height=\"369\" class=\"size-large wp-image-169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tfr.info-safety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/ebay-fraud-1024x369.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tfr.info-safety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/ebay-fraud-300x108.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tfr.info-safety.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/ebay-fraud.jpg 1468w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-169\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Phishing Email<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t be tricked by realistic looking emails into giving up your username and password, as well as other personal information.
