I once got a really good phishing email pretending to be ebay. It included my full legal name and my ebay id. It was some BS threatening to sue me for nonpayment if I didn't paypal them money or some stupid shit like that.
So I forwarded it to spoof@ebay.com with the message "reporting phishing email" or something. Somehow that report got "handled" by a clueless, non-technical, front line rep who thought I thought the email was real and was inquiring about the contents of the email. Pissed me off that the email wasn't handled by the correct department. I won't be bothering to forward any more phishing emails anymore.
- seunosewa 8y agoI think you should have used abuse@ebay.com
- astura 8y agoNo, eBay's website specifically says to forward phishing emails to spoof@ebay.com.
