Caution! Spoof e-mail from e-bay

[Ducman]

Watch out everyone, I just got a spoof e-mail that shows up in microsoft outlook express as comming from e-bay but the e-mail sender is actually [email protected] if you go to properties and look at who is sending the message. I went to e-bays page for reporting problems and forwarded the message to them. In their "how to identify a spoof e-mail page" it actually had one of the lines in this e-mail message as text example of a spoof message. If you click on the link in this message I believe it will take you to a spoof e-bay page and sucker you into giving out e-bay account info and/or personal info. I haven't tried to click the link, but I'm 100% sure its bunk.

 

I tried to copy the text and past it but the e-mail is like one big picture that acts as a link if you click on it. Basically it warns you that if you dont click on the link and update info your account will be suspended and aventually terminated.

 

Just wanted to warn you all.

I did get one awhile ago and did as I shouldn't have and the person starting listing atv's in my name e-bay took care of it the next day. I would have to say they do know what they are doing.I get those all the time now I just delete them after sending e-bay the message

The only time I even OPEN an email from eBay is when I've axed a seller a question or I've won an auction.
