Ebay | Question about Item -- Respond Now

new ebay phishing emailThis email looks very similar to one from earlier this month.

Whereas last time the person had sent money and was wondering when dispatch would be, this time they are unable to pay because of an account fault. Very imaginative, but also very dangerous if you fall for it...

The target url is http://lluxxuss.de/img/news/cancel.php, which seems to be a respectable site, so maybe they unknowingly have some squatters.

Several phishing emails targeted at Ebay have all used a page 'cancel.php' recently, with a few also using .de websites, so it could be they are all from the same senders (Unpaid item, Temporary Suspension, Suspension Notice and Unpaid Item).

Here's the content of the email:

Item: SHARP 46" FULL HD LCD TV LC-46D62U 1080p HDTV LC46D62U (200102405492)
This message was sent after the listing closed.
beyondplasma is the seller.

Hey, I have tired twice to pay you through paypal but the transaction is not working its keeps giving an error message (This recipient is currently unable to receive money) is there anything wrong with your paypal??

Thank you,
eBay
