Phishers Will Try Anything, Part Deux

Same day, different message trick:

Hello Member,

Your monthly eBay Invoice is now available to view online.

You can review your current invoice details and account status at any time by clicking on View Invoice <http://REMOVED_FOR_YOUR_SAFETY.net/images/unused/ws/eBayISAPI.dll/SingIneBay.html>

For future reference, you can access your invoice by following these steps:
1. Go to the eBay Home page.
2. Click My eBay at the top of the page, and sign in with your eBay User ID and password.
3. Click the "Seller Account" link (below My Account in the left navigation menu).
4. Click the "Invoice" link.
Regards,

eBay International AG

The link leads to a lookalike eBay login page hosted in Australia. Fortunately, this clown didn't know enough HTML to disguise the link, so let's hope it won't fool many recipients before the hosting service takes it down.
