[jsfg_cinti] Watch for Phishing Fraud

To my friends at JSFG: 
 

Recently there has been a rash of 'phishing' fraud-based e-mails
circulating.

I received one purportedly from EBay with a subject line of something
like:

 

EBay Fraud Investigation

 

Within the body of the e-mail they ask you to please confirm your
account

information by clicking ..  NEVER NEVER NEVER do this!

 

Anyway maybe you already know how to spot these and/or avoid them . but

as a result I joined fraudwatchinternational.com (for free).  I reported
it and 

found that there were dozens of different ones sent out this last week
targeting EBay 

with different subject lines.  They have a database by targeted company
and an 

e-mail newsletter notifying you of the latest scam(s).  I was surprised
at how 

prevalent it is. 

 

So for whatever it is worth .. just be careful out there.  The e-mails
look 

more and more authentic.

 

Regards,
