eBay Legal Threat Hooks Angry Phish


Image source: trimMail's eMail Battles


Via eMail Battles.

Nothing like a lawsuit to get your blood boiling. The ominous message from your fellow eBay member threatens:

I`ve pressed charges against you and your eBay screen name, FBI will be searching for you. Hope you`ll do good time in jail ....

Have a nice day.
Before you punch that Respond button to give this turkey a Piece Of Your Mind, take a deep breath, then note:

  • It looks like a normal HTML-loaded eBay message...
  • And it's brimming with legitimate eBay links...
  • But the response link conceals a scumbag.

Click that button and you'll be transported to an honest-to-gosh eBay sign-on page buried under becksnet.com. In Norway.

On the other hand, if you simply type in "www.becksnet.com", you land on a home page boasting today's typical post-modern Under Construction decor, complete with no functional links.
