I got nailed on e-bay on a Phishing Scam...........

Cut-Throat Guest Posts: n/a	I am fairly computer savvy, but I was 'taken' yesterday. I was selling something on e-bay. I got an e-mail asking about how much the shipping cost would be. I clicked the respond link, which looked exactly like E-bay. I got a sign-in screen from e-bay (I thought) - It was not. I realized it, as soon as I keyed my E-bay id and Password. This one was very Clever, every screen looked like E-bay. Went to E-bay and changed my password immediately.
