Re: [Chrysler300] FW: Questions from eBay Member DO NOT CLICK ON LINKS



Hello,

To find out that these are not real, display the full headers of the email 
in your email program.  Usually the first line at the top or the one below 
it shows a handoff to your isp or your domain from an IP address.  That is 
usually where the email really comes from.  That is usually an IP address, 
one of those groups of numbers with dots between the groups and then it 
shows it going to wherever your email is like your domain or ISP.

Get a program called Sam Spade from www.samspade.org.  This url is where 
you actually can download the free tool 
http://www.samspade.org/ssw/.    Download and install it.  It is just for 
Windows.  On you have installed it, start it and just cut and paste that 
number in it and it will tell you who the IP address belongs to at least on 
the top level.  The internet is basically divided according to these 
numbers and they let you know where things come from.

Anyway Ebay does not send email from the Ripe coordination center in the 
Netherlands or from some place in Asia.  That is where a lot of these come 
from.  Ebay is a big company and if something is from them it comes from an 
IP address that belongs to them.  I have never gotten anything that was 
actually from Ebay but then I don't sell on Ebay.  I get so many of these 
phishing emails including ones from Paypal and I don't have a Paypal 
account that I have been kind of collecting them and playing with them as 
time permits.  They make an interesting hobby for the geeky.  I have 
thought of putting up a web site that deals with Ebay and Paypal phishing 
emails, to tell people what is out there and how to check it out.  Do list 
members think there would be interest in that?  I have not looked if anyone 
else is doing anything like that but have not run across a site that just 
specialized in those types of scams.

If you have any questions about the above advice just let me know and I 
will try to answer them.
