Hey All!
Just wanted to warn you about an eBay scam. Seems those nefarious interweb characters have figured out a good one. Here's the scam: if you have tried to get an item on eBay and were unsuccessful the criminals will send you a very official looking email from eBay that you have a second chance to purchase the item. If you click on the link through your email you will be routed to an identical fake ebay website to purchase the item. You will receive back an identical looking eBay confirmation email that you purchased the item through eBay. It is all a fake scam. They just stole your money.
Long story short, do not click through any email messages supposedly from eBay. No matter how legit they look and they look identical, trust me. Go to eBay's website on your own to track down the item and purchase.
Hope this helps some of you!
