Guys and Gals,

Please be aware of an email going around offering a Ford SUV Prize Drawing from Ebay.

This is not genuine, it is a scam to get your Ebay password and ID.

I sent the email to Ebay and they confirmed this offer was not from them.

They sent me the usual advice that they never ask for passwords or credit card info via emails.

If anyone has submitted their info to this offer, then go to the Ebay site and Click on the Help section. Passwords can be changed there.

Peter.

Thanks Peter---you're such a good boy...I don't care what your Mom says about you. I thought it rather strange, and ignored it. Same scam last year to members of AOPA, obstensibly peddling a Super Cub as the prize. Besides, I didn't want a Ford SUV! ...JJ

the link does not work, if it did I suspect that it would lead you to a site that would either
1. ask you to enter sensitive data for a scoundral to use
2. get a virus from
