[meteorite-list] WARNING: New twist on eBay spoof (scam)

[R. N. Hartman]

As I have not seen this posted yet, I will send this warning along.

It appears as if you are getting a message from an eBay member re: an
auction #6436472319.  The sender wants a reply and the message form looks
quite real.  In fact, it is an ebay message reply template.  It may state
that they bid on one of your auctions and is a request for shipping rates,
it may be an inquiry about a non-delivered auction, or many other
variations.  If you click to tell the person that it isn't your auction, you
will get a sign in screen requesting your ID and sign in password.  THIS IS
NOT FROM EBAY.  If you go to the actual auction number you will get a
warning message from the owner of that auction number who states that his
auction number was stolen, etc. and to beware of a very clever scam.  If you
have done these things, best to change your password (and report it to
spoof at ebay.com).
