You've received a question about eBay item: BRAND NEW GENUINE APPLE *iPod touch* 16GB 16 GB WIFI (170227727186)

Another realistic looking email question about email, but intent on robbing your security details. I'm not sure how much damage can be done by getting hold of Ebay details - I thought that Ebay didn't store any personal information, but maybe there are addresses there or they are assuming a lot of people will use the same password for PayPal...

Like other recent phishing emails, this one uses an IP address to hide the fact that it's the wrong URL: http://66.206.18.94/index.htm. But that doesn't make it any safer. Here's the email content...

Hi, I will send you the item today via "Royal Mail Sameday".

Have a nice day!
Scott
