HInts and Tricks for Safety and Security
Recent sighting are showing alot of e-mail scams intended on capturing credit card information from a person by posing as an official sight such as e-bay, paypal.. etc. if you look closesly these e-mails usually have an e-mail address that is innaccurate. The other thing to keep in mind is that most of these companies will not request your credit card information via a link in an e-mail.
-------------------------------------
The other tactic we are seeing is scareware... in large amounts this tactic is a fake program that appears to be a legitimate security software and then charges you but even after you pay and register all it does is annoy you and slow down your computer. "IT IS AN INFECTION..... NOT LEGITIMATE SOFTWARE"

E-mail scam to steal credit card numbers pretends to be Ebay (Important!!)
E-mail Address: aw-notice@ebey.com
(notice the e-mail address is ebey.com not ebay.com
Dear Member,
We are writing to alert you that your balance is not paid, because your
credit/dibit card company declined eBay's attempt to charge your monthly
invoice amount to your credit/debit card.
Your payment is due by your next invoice date.
To speed up this process, you are required to place other credir/debit
against the account registration data we have on file.
Place or update credit/debit card on file. [http://departmentebe.szm.sk/rux.htm?signin.ebay/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?SignIn&errmsg=8&pUserId=&co_partnerId=2&siteid=3&pageType=-1&pa1=&i1=-1&UsingSSL=1&bshowgif=0&favoritenav=]
As a courtesy, eBay will automatically make a second attempt to charge
your card. This attempt will take place in about 1 to 3 business days.
As a reminder, past due accounts may be restricted from buying or
selling until payment is received.
Regards,
eBay Billing Department
