eBay customers or online users who have received the "Confirm it's You to Access your eBay Account" email message below, which claim they need to confirm that they have accessed their accounts, is a phishing scam. The fake emails are being sent by cybercriminals to trick potential victims into clicking on the "Dispute Payment" link. But, the link goes to phishing websites that steal credit card information, online account credentials or personal information.
