street pilot Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I get about 3 of these a week. They are starting to look more and more realistic. Always make sure you look at the address bar before you log in from an email link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boost-n-Juice Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I had the same thing happen to me, with my paypal account though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 It doesn't have the http(s) which means it is not a secure site. I got one from Huntington that was almost that good, the only problem with it was that an IP address came up when you clicked on the login.

pg Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Oh I see, wow I would never catch anything like that, its a good thing that I don't do anything with money online, I'm bad at computer stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That link is still hosted on the ebay domain. It must have something to do with the click Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Try clicking on that link again. I noticed that Ebay may have taken care of it since it goes to the actual Ebay login now. I tried typing in partial URLs with and without the "s" and only those with the "s" will go to the ebay site the others give a no permission error.

JaSSon Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Edit: I know what happened. When I copied and pasted the e-mail to CR, the actual text (web address) was copied and then pasted into the new topic. The actual link in the e-mail was typed as the link above but it sent you here: http://board.unbenannt.info/eBay/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Wow that address is retarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
