The Kicker

I just got some pretty standard spam: someone gave me bad feedback on eBay (which I haven't used since I tried to sell my Social Security benefits a few years ago), and of course they want me to go to a website that looks like -- but isn't -- ebay.com, so I can resolve it.

The nice part is the footer of the email: it's a link to eBay's guide to detecting spoofed emails. The link, of course, goes to a .ru domain that tries to steal my eBay password. These phishers have a sense of humor
