[Sigia-l] What's your score?

[Matthew Gessler]

Actually there was a dead give-away on each example...

In the status bar at the bottom of these emails there is a link
displayed. To determine if the email is a real, 99% of the time just
look for the company url immediately before the first "/".
In other words-
Real: auctions.ebay.com/
Fake: ebay.com.auctions/

Ebay actually has an informative guide to spoofing/phishing located here:

Cheers,
Matt
