    I received two of these e-mails in one week:

    Outlooks says they are phished, and the link to which I would get directed if I clicked on "View the dispute thread" is shown in the picture. However, what made me unsure was the fact that when I clicked the reply button, the reply e-mail was the same, that to .

    Anyone else been getting these recently?

    The address is spoofed. If you click on that link your details will be phished.

    Yes, I get them all of the time. What you'll notice is that REAL emails from ebay will have your username instead of "dear member". And it's always good to look at the URL in the links to be sure... if it heads off to an IP address, then it's no good.

    Ah great, now I know how to detect them in the future!

    But that's only if you actually log in, right?

    Always remember the golden rule,

    Never click on the link.

    Go directly to the site.

    Not necessarily. If you log in then yes, your details have been phished for sure but if you even visit the link there's a good chance the site you visit will try to install some sort of trojan followed by a keylogger followed by all sorts of other crap.

    If you are using outlook, simply go to File > Properties
    and take a look at the details of the email.

    You'll then know what the real email address or server
    that email was from
