Just to let everyone know. I don't know if this is a new one or not but I haven't seen or heard of it before. I received this e-mail this morning;
"eBay New Unpaid Item Message from jogi410: #8246157898 -- response required

Like a big-#ss dumbie I clicked on the link and was taken to a regular eBay sign-in page. Still being dumb I entered my ID & password. When nothing happened I finally realized that I had been had. I immediately changed my password for eBay, PayPal & Auctiva.
I then checked my next e-mail which was a member's question in a very official looking eBay form. The question was "Do you take paypal, Thanks". Every one of my auctions state plainly that I prefer PayPal so I got suspicious this time. I forwarded both mails to eBay and of course they were both spam.
The members ID on the two e-mails were different but the one on the second one seems to be legitimate with good feedback. Anyone have a suggestion, should I contact this member to let him know that his ID is being compromised?
