OT: eBay scam

I keep getting the following message from what seems to be an eBay member :

Hi,

Please respond to me. I have paid for my item, now you have my money so please tell me what is going on.

I hope to resolve this big big problem, if not i will contact the nearest police departament.

Thank you.

Neither the ebay member nor the item number are valid so it’s a safe bet it’s a scam. When I click on the link to the auction, I get what looks like the eBay sign-in page and to proceed I have to give my username and password.

Anyone else getting these?

don’t do it - look up at the url of the page from the link (after you click the link) - bet it’s not really ebay. This is a phishing scam.
