Im just curious about what people use to notify them of a site that is spoofed, or emails and such. I know on ebay they have an account guard that I can download to let me know if the ebay/paypal page I am on is official, but it is with the ebay toolbar, so I dont want the extra junk. I use firefox, and the options for checking for suspected forgery sites through firefox is either through firefox's downloaded list that is local on my computer, and they recommend letting it check with google.com which is better, though google may log your local ip address and other cookie info, which I am not too concerned about. Just wondering if this is good enough or what people do.
I recently had an issue when I put something on ebay, and I got an ebay email saying that this guy wanted to pay me xx dollars right away for the item, which is illegal since I legally have to finish the ebay auction and sell it to the winner. Though I tried to bluff the guy, I got emails and such that were forgery's of paypal and ebay. I did fall for it at all, there were spelling and grammar issues, and when I put my mouse cursor over the links within the email, they were not official.
I think I scared the guy since I was always ahead of him. Im not gonna say what I did, but I think he may take a break from trying this again for a while.
