Default ebay scam had me confused!!

Come across a new ebay scam that I had not seen before and it really had me going.

It was an ebay message from a seller saying they were posting my goods. Except I had not bought any. It looked absolutely genuine and and I cross referenced the item number which was absolutely real.

So far, so confused. I then clicked on one of the links in the email and it took me to the log in screen which was a spoof. All the other links took me to genuine ebay.

Very clever, very confusing and it had me going for a minute.

Sorry if it is a SIAL but not seen this one before.

Never click on supposed links, the message will be in ebay if it's real, just ignore and delete from your normal email account.
