One more interesting trick is that they make it like sending from ebay(the trick is NOT from ebay). I got couple email which is a reply to "Question to seller". The body of the message is almost identical to typical ebay question to seller email respond.
At the end of the message there is regular link to "To view the item" the url is encoded to number and % sign which ip address. After decode the url and nslookup, it go to some dial-up/dsl/cable number from charter.com like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.something.charter.com. The page will be display is the ebay item number.html
When I first get the email, and found the link is weird so I go direct to ebay and login to see the the account activity for the pass 30 day (I thought that the accout could be hijack). Nothing happen. That is good.
A word of advice, do not click on anylink you get from email or any form, just go directly to the website and find out from there.
