I've just recieved the new Paypal scam re: new email address entered please confirm. For all you ebay users that use this and use paypal, it looks genuine but the links are spoof. even though it shows a secure https:// link. It has been reported and confirmed spoof.

I recently bid for an item on ebay and came second :( Low and behold, I received an e-mail saying that the seller was giving me a second chance and that I should contact some other e-mail address. Yep another scam, reported it to ebay.

Could easily fool the unaware.

Be Careful,

I also had one recently and the bidder that kept beating me had no feedback..! It was obviously the sellers mate, or the seller himself, cos about 5 mins after the end of the auction i got a second chance email from the seller saying that the winning bidder was from zimbaway(year right!!!)and he'd be happy to let me have the wheels at my highest bid.

Ive also had the paypal scam email.
