Hello,

After logging-on to the sell items page on Ebay, a phishing prompt is
asking for credit card information. How can I remove this prompt from
my account?


Thank-you

Don't worry, the person in Korea that you gave your login and
password to will remove it in a few days.

Based on what you say after that,
I think at that point you have already been fooled.

Why not ask ebay?
(N.A.N-A.E is certailnly not the right place to ask.)

Try this, turn off your PC, unplug it, put it in the trash
dumpster, problem solved.

Seems like writing to the ebay support folk would have a better chance
than posting to an abuse-by-email news group.

Okay, I amused at tech. humor too. There is a time to be funny and
there is a time to be well........serious!
Since many people have received phishing scams, and are looking to this
newsgroup for answers, can anybody please be specific on how to
"get-rid" of phishing prompts?

I had forwarded the "phishing link" to Ebay, and they only sent a
"generic response" that said the link was a fraudulent attack on my
Ebay Account. Reported the link to www.antiphishing.org.

You need to be a bit more specific. Logging on how to eBay?

"get-rid" of the phishers - there does not appear to be a way to do that
short of a-bombing N.Korea, Paris, and China where they come from.

"prompts" is a peculiar term - if you are seeing 'prompts' then you have
already clicked on the 'link' - I hear there are now add ons to your
browser that flag phony sites.

You have malware (virus, trojan, spybot, something) infesting your computer.
There are umpity-ump, free, cleaning and prevention tools available.

It would seem best that you enter in the http://www.ebay.com manually
and not used a bookmarked link and scan and clean your computer, as
others have suggested, with a virus scanner and spyware/malware/ad
scanner program
