An Old Ebay Email Scam Recycling

Please be aware that there is a new variety of a phishing email reporting to be from Ebay along these lines:


eBay Bid Cancellation Notice - Item


Dear eBay Community Member, 
The bid that you entered for the item (137406158928) has been cancelled. You can view the reason provided for the cancellation by selecting the (bid history) link from the individual item page.

Regards,
eBay




As soon as you click on the link, you are in danger so just delete!


What is unusual about this email is that it is getting past most good spam filters (including Gmail) which is bad news.


Hopefully when enough folks mark this message as spam, the Google Collective will take action
