This was a new one on me, and while it didn't take me in, it almost did.

You get an ebay post from what looks like a legitimate ebay member, accusing you of running a fraudulent auction. When you go to the forum address where this "fraud" is supposedly revealed, you get a sign-in screen.

Once I realized what was going on, it seemed pretty primitive, but the initial post is very clever, since it's quite insulting and in the heat of annoyance a person might sign-in on the fraudulent screen...and viola! the deed is done.

Word to the wise.
