Grimdigger forum member Hutch recently had this tried on him.With his permission I'm copying Hutch's post here on Roger's forum;
"I have just received an "Outbid notice" from ebay, as I do not normally have these I suspected something anyway and when I looked at it it claimed I had been outbid on a Tshirt I`ve never seen before.
It gave all the usual ebay blurb and the url of the auction so I clicked on the link and it came up with the ebay sign in page first, it looked identical to ebays but the address bar at the top just gave an ip address instead of ebay.com
I then put the item number into the real ebay search page and it came up with a pair of sandals and not the tshirt.
Had I not suspected anything I could have just logged straight in on the given to find out what was going on, then my ID and password would have been nicked.
They are definitely getting clever at these."
Be careful guys,
KAT
