Ebay purchaser with a yahoo email address hacked ebay user "rvpdsid" and bid on my atv at the last moment (10 second snipe). Then he sent me an official looking ebay notification saying my purchase had been paid for the following item:

 Dear eBay member,
 
 
 I sent you the payment for this item. You can see the status of the
payment at this address: e bay forbids links outside of ebay...
 
  
 
 
 - billysdad1965

 

Clicking that link takes you to another spoof website with a .su suffix.

Note the .SU country tag there? That's an old tag for the Soviet Union that's still used today. It asks you to enter your ebay ID and p/w. DON'T

 

Beware this scam!!!
