Got scammed by eBay SPOOF mail today

Thank you for publishing news of these fraudulent e-mails that appear to be from eBay. I got one today and before I knew it I had "logged on" using my password. As soon as I remembered the thread on GB, I pulled out of the website and went over to eBay in a fresh window and changed my password. Then I sent the e-mail to spoof@ebay.com as requested, and guess what? It was a fake. Luckily, I didn't hit 'Send' on my credit card number. You guys stopped me just in time; I would have fallen for it had it not been for that nagging memory buzzing around in my head that I heard about some e-mails from eBay that were scamming people. It's true.

The website they've built is a dead ringer for the eBay forms for logging on and entering credit card info. Man, they almost had me. BEWARE, everyone.
