| Spoof Web Sites can be a major problem for Internet users because they fake the appearance of well-known Web Sites to get unsuspecting consumers to enter their personal information. |
The eBay Toolbar now includes a new feature: Account Guard. This feature enables eBay members to protect themselves by:
| • |
Identifying when they are on eBay or PayPal. |
|
| • |
Identifying when they are on a known Spoof web site. |
|
| • |
Warning you when you may
be entering your eBay password into an unverified site even if it looks like eBay or PayPal. |
|
| • |
Enabling them to easily report a potential spoof Web site so that eBay can investigate. |
|
 |
| The following tour shows you how you can take full advantage of the new Account Guard feature. If you would like more information on how to prevent falling for a spoof, please visit the Spoof Email Protection Tutorial at http://pages.ebay.com/education/spooftutorial. |
