They will. Just as soon as the IRS decides you need to report your eBay earnings as revenue.
Or just as soon as states start cracking down on unpaid sales taxes.

Pretty ingenious, indeed.
I think your IT guy was in on it.

So everyone here who opened that web page and was able to criticize the grammar also has that virus?

See my note about the hosts file el cheapo DNS hack. The same worm can also send the email telling you to go to the page.

Those of us who are not infected went to the real ebay page with a WTF look on our faces when we got there; you went to the bogus ebay page all ready to get rolled.
