Ebay | Unpaid Item Mutual Agreement for Item #320204534873 - Response Required

It seem that someone somewhere has it in for Ebay this week, there seem to have been rather a lot of Phishing emails targetted at them and PayPal.

On this one, I'm not convinced that the owner of the destination URL will actually know they are being used this way. A quick search on Google didn't bring up anything untoward, so it's possible that their website has been broken into for this purpose.

Warning signs that it's phishing - 'undisclosed recipients', no name in greeting and totally different URL to the Ebay URL. In this email, they have gone to the trouble of changing all of the links to the spoof pages.

If you are in any doubt worried by this email, don't click a link, just open a new browser window and type in www.ebay.com and sign into your account that way. I never click links on any Ebay emails any more for this reason.

Stay safe - make sure you are using a browser with phishing protection such as Firefox (link top right). Here's the details:
