TubeNet

It's spam designed to lift your personal information.

Note the url. It doesn't take you to Ebay.

Source addresses of emails are extremely easy to fake. Take the email you receive with a grain of salt. If there's any doubt in your mind as to whether an email is spam or not, it's spam.

Forward a copy to ebay's fraud address.

You did good by asking if you weren't sure!

I just checked that URL above. It's been closed down.

This URL redirection has been closed down

The web site you are trying to browse to has been disabled.
The cause for this can be SPAM, illegal content or violations to Kickme.to/Has.it TOS

Another thing is NEVER click on an address with an "@"sign in it, nor with a site represented by a numeric value only:

For example (all of these are harmless):

http://www.ebay.com@www.tubasr.us

Or

http://support.ebay.com@1113982824

Or even

http://1113982824

Same cautions for web site addresses using the % sign:

http://purchases.ebay.com@%57%57%57%2e%54%55%42%41%53%52%2e%55%53

Or anything with a dotted IP address:

http://66.102.7.147

And never click on an address in HTML without knowing what it actually points to:

http://www.ebay.com

Some of these may not work with all browsers, but a spoofer only needs one "sucker".

The email you received was not from Ebay. The message you received is commonly known as 'phishing' and is designed to steal your identity. Forward email like this directly to ebay at this email address:

spoof@ebay.com

Ebay will NEVER send you a message requesting your personal information.

Good points Chuck. Sometimes a link can be disguised too. The link looks like the real thing, but if you 'right-click', 'copy shortcut' and then paste it in an email or someplace you can check it, you may see something entirely different. I've seen this while helping McAfee AV as a volunteer moderator on their forum.

Google sometimes does for their sponsored links to hide the fact they have tracking cookies or ad-ware. For instance, go to Google, type in "McAfee" (without the quotes). The two sponsored links look like, "www.mcafee.com" and "www.memoryoptimizer.com". If you copy Google's shortcut (right-click etc) and paste in somewhere, you'll see it goes to a different URL entirely. That first link takes you to McAfee by way of some browser tracking service.

I've gotten these too. They never come from eBay. If you look at the address in the link, it's usually a URL in numerals--not eBay's. When I get these, I forward them to spoof@ebay.com.

I've also gotten spoofed messages requesting that I update my banking info, credit card info, etc. They're never legitimate--just attempts to collect your valid information for some purpose you wouldn't approve of.

I got one over the weekend, not from ebay, but a bank. My bank merged with this one before being bough by a 3rd. The spoof suggested my debit card was used in an ATM in europe, and to go to the banks site to clear it up. Since I never banked with this particular bank, I looked a little deeper.
But the link text didn't match the HTML reference.

text was bank.name.com, HTML was bank-name.com
Took me a few minutes to figure out what the problem was, but it was there.
