How many of you have seen a fake eBay site?  I have, and it looks like the real thing. I was warned by my Internet Security to not proceed as the site was a fake. Links in emails, can send you anywhere, to the scammer's site and it can look legitimate, like anything they want it to look like, it doesn't even help to check the address of the site, as it can be cunningly disguised to look legit. Sometimes just clicking the link in an email  can install keylogging software without your knowledge, so for those who say they can tell the difference, I certainly couldn't and I would like to know how. Is it any wonder I am nervous about links in emails, especially from eBay who say they will never do it? I have good internet security, the best I can afford, and would never rely on the free stuff which is done by volunteers, however no security software can guarantee to save you from everything.
