Came across what appears to be an attempt to acquire eBay user names and passwords for some nefarious purpose. I sent the email below to the eBay security folks: "Item number(s): 4592371282 "This item claims to be from eBay UK and alleges to be selling a Jensen Healey car but photo is of a young woman. Clicking on item redirects to a fairly good replica of the normal eBay sign-in screen, and claiming to be a secure site (but the little 'lock' icon does not appear). This appears to be a fairly well done attempt to acquire user names and passwords. "With my computer set to 'full security' mode I instead see a standard eBay UK vehicle data screen that's not filled in, the enlarged photo of the woman (who BTW is rather ugly as well as essentially nude), and a single line of text relating to a motorcycle not a car. On this screen the item number displays as normal. "Suggest you delete this entry and ban its poster for life. The poster's head on a pike would be even better." If anyone should identify the culprit, a severe and thorough thrashing would be quite appropriate. Sadly, it's probably illegal nowadays to place heads on pikes. Pity. |
