If you are getting more phishing now then somehow the phishing spammers may have gotten your email address. You may need to change addresses if the problem is serious. Phishing on eBay was very common when people, myself included, used an email address as a seller/buyer name. Then eBay sent out a message asking those of us with who did this to get a new name which almost everyone did. The phishing stopped for the most part. Those of us who kept part of our email address continued to get a small amount of phishing emails. eBay then sent out a second message stating we should not have any part of our email address as the seller/buyer name. Once a new name with no part of my email address was used the number of phishes almost stopped. I have to give some credit also to my provider AOL. As these spams go out it only takes a couple of keystrokes by AOL members to block the delivery of phishing spams to all of the members. Now the number of eBay phishing spams is only a couple a month and I have not had one for weeks. It is one of the few good things AOL has ever done and really knocks down the spam rate. The down side is that a single keystroke can block a list like this one from going to all AOL members. I understand that it is a pain to get AOL then to allow further access by a list holder. So, if you are selling gizmos and you have an email address of gizmo(a)aol.com with an eBay name of gizmoseller, then you have a good chance of being targeted by the minions out there trying to steal your accounts, identity, and money. The absolute worst thing you can do is to hit the hypertext link as that tells the spammer you exist and at email address xxxxxxxx. If your provider has a spam button for deleting the email then use it. Second worst is hitting the button to have yourself removed as that too tells the spammed you exist. Reporting phishing to eBay seems to have no effect but PayPal takes them a bit more seriously and does go after them according to an article I read. I have not had a PayPal spam in months.
