Lets try this again
I just got an scam email that looked very real. The link says I need to =
go to EBAY's website or I will be cut off by clicking on the below link =
(I tried to remove the hyperlink, but just in case don't go there) =
Embedded inside is a link that takes you to a website that only has the =
numerical IP address. So you can't tell if it is ebay or not.
When you get there, they ask for every piece of valuable info they can =
think of including you pin number, SSAN and mothers maiden name.
Very sneeky!
Don't click on it
