Ebay | Suspension Notice

Ebay Phishing Email MarchIf there was an award for the most unimaginative phishing email, this one would surely win it!

A total lack of convincing graphics; sent to 'undisclosed-recipients'; no reference to the recipient by name and driving my phishing protection software mad - and me I'm getting that many warnings! (if you haven't got any get the Firefox browser - free download from Google top right of the screen).

The destination url is http://lluxxuss.de/img/news/cancel.php - not even trying to hide it by burying Ebay somewhere in the line! The url lluxxuss.de does appear to be an innocent site though. As I've previously mentioned (and there's been more since...) a lot of Phishing targeting Ebay seems to be coming from Germany and using the cancel.php page.

The email has been forwarded to Ebay, here's the content@
