Email phishing attempts
A phishing email pretending to be from eBay typically contains a link that takes you to a fake website. There, you’ll be asked to sign in and submit personal and account information.
These emails often include the eBay logo and a fake eBay address in the “From” line.
Here are some typical traits of phishing scams:
Asking for confidential information
An urgent or threatening tone that asks you to act quickly
Unsolicited attachments
A generic greeting, like “Attention eBay member”
A web address that looks like eBay, but which may have a typo or extra numbers and letters (like http://signin-ebay.com or http://signin.ebay.com@10.19.32.4)
