What # did you call? all the numbers listed are for the ISP and the Korean National Internet Registry, not the actually user...

And their all international #s, so unless you have an international calling plan, you can't dial them.

ya thats not an ebay url

http://scgi.ebay.com@%32%31%31%2e%33...:%37%33%30%31/

is

http://scgi.ebay.com@211.37.185.30301/

you see that @ in there, that makes your webbrowser treat the ebay url as a password for the site that is just an ip address(and then the website just ignores it).(211.37.185.30 port number 7301) the scammers will take your info and try to hack your ebay account or do things that are much much worse.

if you filled it in go and change your ebay password and tell your cc company and atm company to cancel the accounts and get new numbers. seriously they have all the info they need to take a $100,000 loan in your name and ---- your credit over for years.

Foreward the email to ebay, dont just copy it, foreward it to them.

Hope you can prevent anything bad from happening.

oh and i bet any money it is someone in the US or somewhere else using their server for hosting or hacked their server and put that page on there.

in other words the koreans prob dont even know what that page is doing, or that its even there.

Rene' here-

This is definitely fake. I get about four or five of them a week (probably because of the powerseller status). Ebay has a special page to report these, and you definitely need to do so. You need to include the header information (the info with all the garbedly gook, which includes the DNS information, etc.), and the complete body of the email. You can do that here (sorry for the long URL!!):

http://cgi3.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAP...ult%26rdir%3D0

If Ebay ever REALLY wants you to update account information, they will never put a link in the email. They always give instructions to go to www.ebay.com and update your account through the My Ebay page.

Hope this helps!
Rene'

I forwarded it to them and they were very promt at getting back to me. They thanked me for sending it in and included instructions on how to protect myself. I think it's pretty stupid to warn/inform users AFTER they get this email and possibly give out there secret information.
