Default nearly got done by scam/spoof ebay

i was browsing on ebay when suddenly (msgr )email popped up, asking about question about item ( i am selling) i AM selling something.
2 things that caught my eye,

1, in the subject theres NO info about the item hes wanting to know
2, his question is Can you estimate the costs for shipping the item to Devon, UK?

people in UK seldom use the word shipping if its UK to UK.

i clicked on the "Respond now"
when i realised something else, its asking me to log on,..

i nearly did when i remembered i already have a tab open with ebay and i am already Logged on..

i looked at the url and its ebay.com.

but i never use the .com one..
so i closed the tab


went back to my tab and checked the msg,
and guess what! theres NO new msg..

anyway clicked on the linky again and looked carefully at the link and its....


http://signin.ebay.com.a.altomiudeza...dll/SignIn.htm


ebay.com.a.altomiudezas.com.br

ha!.. duh duh... you can never scam a snetter (oops)

so i made a fake username and logon.. lol it works..

and this is my msg to him.

hahhahahah you think i am easily scammed go f**k yourself, **** for brains HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA
