Beware of phishing emails from official eBay email
Summary: octotechnik reports about a phishing email that apparently came from an official eBay email address and redirected to a phishing website. The email contained a link to a phishing page and was written in several languages. voli-maus advises not to click anything and to delete the email.
I just received a phishing email from the official Ebay email and a ebay.co.uk link that redirects to a phishing website.
The account that sent all this apparently invited me to a team and used that to send the email. I’m not quite sure how the redirect from the official eBay link to the phishing site was done, but it seems to have something to do with the structure of the link; there are certainly people here who know more about that.
The email was in Polish, the account is from France, and the message itself was in English
It is an account called support617522.

Hello @octotechnik and everyone! We currently have reports of a phishing campaign in which the invitation function for Team access at eBay is being misused.
The emails are not sent by eBay, but they have an official eBay sender address and therefore appear especially credible. The invitation contains a link that leads to an external website where personal data is being requested.
Please note:
Do not provide any personal data or bank details via links in such emails.
If you have received a suspicious email, please forward it as an attachment to: spoof@ebay.de (for eBay Germany) or spoof@ebay.com (international)
The eBay accounts for Team access that have so far been known to be misused have already been blocked. We are continuing to monitor the situation and thank you for your caution and your attentive action.
If you are unsure whether an email really comes from eBay, it is better to ask one more time before clicking on links or entering data.
Thanks for your support!
Best regards Miriam & the eBay team
