I know that this is not from MW
 
Posted By: <b>Marty</b><p>I rarely post here, but I am choosing to due to BMW reference. <BR>I just received one of those emails with an attachment that I suspect is a virus waiting to be opened. It said that it was from bmwsports@msn.com the subject was "R: Your product". I know that it is not from BMW, but it looks like someone is now making the sender look more inviting.<BR>I also recently started getting fake "Message from eBay Member Regarding Item #..."

Posted By: <b>Bill</b><p>The one entitled "re: your product" contains an attachment with the Netsky worm. Symantec covers it in good detail <a href="http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.netsky.d@mm.html">here</a>. It's reading from an address book to fake the name of the sender.<BR><BR>Any email supposedly from eBay can be confirmed by them by forwarding it to spoof@ebay.com. An automated response comes back with a confirmation or denial.<BR><BR>Bill

Posted By: <b>Marty</b><p>The messages that are a question from an eBay member have the users address, not eBays.

Posted By: <b>Bill</b><p>Marty-<BR><BR>I've also gotten a bunch of those "question from ebay member" emails lately, all of them asking to send extra money for shipping (one was to Saskatchewan - some powerselling elk, I guess). This type of email is supposed to come out of the eBay system, but it's not - the headers show them coming from a Yahoo address. I think these cons are just mass mailing people hoping someone will send off a few dollars.<BR><BR>Bill

Posted By: <b>Julie Vognar</b><p>I didn't recognize the names of the senders, and of course was not allowd to read the e-mails.<BR>Well, THAT was a boring post.
