beware of new ebay phishing ads...

The entire e-mail looks official, right down to the spoofed e-mail address, and who all links go to direct ebay pages... except one: This one looks like a clickable button. DO NOT PRESS THIS BUTTON. You'll go to some nasty webpage which will likely automatically install a worm, trojan, virus, or other nasty onto your PC.

I got an ebay one saying I received a strike. Opening up a different browser I went to ebay and - lo and behold - I had no strikes.

It looks VERY convincing, and well thought out, but it ultimately wasn't.
