More Spoofing and Phising

This morning I checked my Yahoo email. As I normally get a lot of spam I was not too surprised that I have a lot of spam in my bulk email. I was surprised to see five emails claiming to be from EBay and one from Paypal. Two of the EBay claimed I had created an account. They all purported to be from those companies.

As always I am skeptical of emails asking me to go to a clickable link and retype all of my personal information. Also, I don't have an EBay account or Paypal account. I went to EBay.com and Paypal.com and found that they have spoof@ebay.com and spoof@paypal.com ids for this type of activity. If you get messages like this please forward them so they can help shutdown the phishers.
