Dear eBay MemberI would first and foremost highly recommend the use of SpamCop, at http://www.spamcop.net - which, once one registers for free, enables the accurate reporting of less-than-two-day-old spam to the right folks. Obviously one cannot block aw-confirm @ ebay.com - and so SpamCop helps in not only reporting but showing the actual source of the spam so you can block it. Of course a look at the headers will also show the culprits hosting the spammers, which I have also blocked, having gotten more than enough "ebay" mail from: totalchoicehosting.com fastbighost.com roomfour.net Add THOSE to your blocking list, if your isp has one for you to modify. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bernhard Wagner To: loopers-delight@loopers-delight.com Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 10:00 AM Subject: security issue: eBay Account Suspended Dear loopdwellers This is a rare occasion that I post a HTML mail to this forum. But it is the second putative mail I get from a sender pretending to be eBay. The worst trick is that he tries to make me click on a link that looks as if it were originating from eBay http://signin.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayIsession.dll?userconfirm&ssPageName=h?-fom:sin_US, yet when you look at the underlying HTML-source code, you see it's actually pointing to the location: http://lounge.roomfour.net/image/index.html. The domain roomfour.net is actually registered in Germany. Since I know that my email address was harvested from loopersdelight archive, I presume that other victims are to be found on this list. What I want to say: DON'T react to this mail if you received it,too. Best, Bernhard -----Original Message----- From: eBay Security Validation [mailto:aw-confirm@ebay.com] Sent: Freitag, 21. Januar 2005 09:17 To: loopdelightml@nosuch.biz Subject: eBay Account Suspended Dear eBay Member, Due to recent account takeovers and unauthorized listings, eBay is introducing a new account verification method.

Your account confirmation may go wrong if your credit card/bank account is expired, or if you have changed your credit card number, billing address etc. without notifying us about the change. Subject of this verification process are also the accounts that have unpaid dues to eBay. Your account is not suspended, but if in 48 hours after you receive this message your account is not confirmed we reserve the right to suspend your eBay registration.
