A new email from"Ebay"!
I got this in my email today...if I wasn't a normally suspicious person...I might have been taken by this one! It LOOKS really good...and the links "appear" to be correct! But they aren't even close! The links...instead of leading to Ebay are really pointed at a 148.223.20.222 IP which leads to Mexico! Probably NOT Ebay!! As seen below...the "apparent" web address is Ebay...but if you look deeper...you can see that it's a "spoofed" address and points elswhere.
The email reads as follows....

My GF got a a phishing email on Tuesday from ebay. IP wasn't even masked. It just pointed to something like 202.198.someting.something
