Pathetic eBay phishing attempt
Got a lovely email today from eBay member "4ow".
Or at least, that's what it looked like until I actually opened it.
The content of the email was simply HTML in its raw format. The moron who sent this out couldn't get his head around the simple process of sending HTML email.
Obviously someone from the Czech Republic has a lot of time on his hands so he is crafting this rubbish and spamming 1000s of email addresses:
"I've sent you the money for the item and I have not receive any it from you!
You are an asshole who tricked me and If you don't Respond Now!!! and explain me what happen' I will contact eBay to report you and I also go to the police!
I am waiting your Respond Now! You have to know I am not so stupid as you think!!!"
To be honest, I think this particular email spammer is even stupider than I think, and his spelling is appalling.
The "Respond Now" link points not to eBay but to a page on the domain mujweb.cz.
A quick WHOIS shows the owner as a Michal Blaha in the Czech Republic.
If you get anything like this in your email inbox, delete it.
Don't bother replying, clicking on a link etc. Just get rid.
You should only ever log into eBay or PayPal by opening a new browser window and typing in the web address in the "Address Bar".
Never click on a link contained in an email which claims to be from eBay, PayPal or your bank.
If you do, you are just helping these desperate morons such as Mr Blaha here.
