please dont try visit this link!!!

I just got one of the ebay phishing mails. now apart from the java button that doesent work as im patched, the rest of the links in the mail look like the one above.

Look at it.. partly inbound, partly out. most i can figure out from it is its trying to send a stored ebay password from the person who clicks it, to the phisher. I cant properly figure it out, maybe the beer isnt helpin, but still...

anyone else make more sense of it?

Just out of curio really.

I got that too... Maybe its checking to see if you have an eBay cookie stored with an eBay username and password... Not quite sure...

Tris, did you check the source of the e-mail? It had some strange characters in it... If you can, can you forward it to me if you still have it? I deleted the copy I had...

Edit: OK!
