OT: Even More Proof

[Atrocities]

My mother fell for it. I spent several hours fixing it aftwards. Not good.

The link for "Click here for confirmation of the your account" goes to a suspicious url: "http://218.12.184.39/icons/.signin.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPIdllSignIn.php".

Here's a fun site for looking up such links: Kloth.Net; a WhoIs on 218.12.184.39 told me that the IP is owned by Asia Pacific Network Information Centre. Running it on arribada.ebay.com said "not found"

Interesting, no?
