My friend got one of these. He wasn't sure about it, so he sent it to me. It was pretty convincing, until I actually looked at the links. They looked like they were from ebay.com addresses, but they weren't.

http://accountservices.ebay.com/yaddayaddayadda

So you'd look at that and think it goes to accountservices.ebay.com, but it doesn't. I'm sure people who didn't know any better would have been fooled.

Anyway, what probably happened is that the eBay account details you entered never existed. These systems can't tell, they just take the information you give it and send it to the hackers.

In future, don't fall for these things. They're a little more advanced than the "Hotmail is shutting down accounts for because of we've runned out of space on they're servers. Reply to this email with your detials please. Yours sincerely, Jim Hotmail, boss of Hotmail" e-mails that idiots always send.

You should e-mail eBay and let them know. They can delete your account if necessary, as a precaution.
