Re: eBay phishing - phishers are getting better

Hello ,

You're not the only one getting this...
Spammers are using some tools to extract only the ebay mails from
certain email lists they manage to get ..then using those emails they
are able to get the ebay username that belongs to the ebay mail , i
believe eBay fixed this  ..so most likely they got your username some
time ago.

I just got another phishing scam (targeting eBay).

The twist is that the subject line included my eBay username,
and it was sent to my eBay e-mail address. The Phishers have
figured out how to get one from the other, I don't know how.

I sent it on to eBay but just got a standard form letter
back.

Is this happening to anyone else? Anyone know how they
were able to figure out my e-mail from user name (or
vice versa)?
