<h2>Revealed The eBay spoof and fake email spotter guide.</h2>by GrahamWaiteEver fallen victim of one of those eBay spoof or eBay scam emails? You know the ones they arrive almost daily in your email in box and sometimes you are not quite sure if they are legitimate or not. One click on that link and all your details are heading towards some gready little scammer or credit card cloner. I feel pretty safe behind my wall of firewalls, early warning devices, anti hack software and so forth and I would have to be a total dip whit to send my information to these scam merchants. But even so it's a worry isn't it? Wouldn't it be good to know how to stay safe from these people. We will start of with the obvious techniques and then work our way up to more sophisticated stuff although none of it is difficult. Its not as hard as you might think and there are a few simple ways of knowing if an email came from eBay or not. These are a few ideas that work well for me but if you know any more can let every one know at my blog http://www.auctionwealthsecrets.com/auctionnews/ 1. Look at the email FROM address: If you are tempted to open one of these emails check the from address in the email it should only be from eBay.com no other address as ebay does not use addresses like @securityebay.com, ebaysecurity.net or even eBay@Baycom.com if in any doubt of the origin delete the message. 2. Look to see where the link in the email you have been sent would send you: This is probably the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to spot a eBay scam email. Move your mouse over the link but do not click it. Look in the bottom left corner of your screen just above the Start button. It should show the location of the link you are about to click. If the link does not START, and I mean start, with http://www.ebay.com ..then it is a scam email. Hit the delete button or forward it to spoof@ebay.com (they can sometimes trace these eBay scammers and stop them). A helpful tip is to then block that email address in your email system so they can't send any more. 3. Don't reply to any email until you have considered it's orgin and content. Many eBay scammers refer to transactions which never took place. If you haven't brought and item don't reply to the email and don't fall for the trick question about an item you haven't listed either. A popular spoof technique is to send you a winning bidder email message.. If you haven't even placed a bid of the item in question and in fact even if you have just hang on couple of minutes and I am about to reveal a technique which will stop you making a foolish error for good... You are still waiting I hope? Ok here is a fool proof way of making sure you DON't get burned by scam emails pretending to be from eBay or eBay buyers and sellers. It's so basic but totally fool proof. All genuine emails sent through eBAY from either themselves, or eBay buyers and sellers will have a copy sent to your MY EBAY account and if you can't find it there it hasn't come from a genuine eBay source. See I said it was so easy didn't I. So the best way is to delete every potential scam email sent to your email address and communicate with eBay and buyers and sellers using the internal eBay systems set up. This way you can sleep soundly in your bed knowing you are safe from eBay scam emails.<h3>About the Author</h3>Don't get scammed by the recent <a href="http://auctionexpertsecrets.com">ebay scams</a> that those evil <a href="http://auctionexpertsecrets.com">ebay scammers</a> use to trick you.
