How To Open Own Business - How to Judge and Report Spoof Websites to eBay?
EBay never sends you email that includes attachments or it will never ask you sensitive information like password etc. Access it from the 'my messages' box of 'my eBay', if you receive an email from eBay with links. If at all you come across links do not click it but copy-paste it on your browser's address bar. EBay does not let you give away important information by providing links on the eBay pages. Never click on such links since eBay only tells you to enter information when you access from the eBay site. It leads you to this fake websites pages where you are requested to sign in and give away your personal and contact information, when you click on a fake eBay website thinking it to be the actual one.
When you find a spoof Web site click the 'account guard' icon on the site and from the drop down list click the 'report this as a suspicious site' link. The whole eBay Community gets increased protection from fraudulent sites, its ability to find out the spoof sites increases and as more and more people report spoof sites to eBay, with the number of people downloading and using the eBay toolbar. Warning them against this Web site, the automated system on eBay distributes to all other eBay 'toolbar' members, eBay then reviews that website and if found fraudulent. The 'toolbar' of eBay can be used to report such a thing to eBay, at any point of time if you find yourself on a fake or spoof eBay website.
