Thank you for taking the time to write eBay with your concerns. My name

Regarding the phone call that you receive (1866-3173229), it was not
from eBay.

From time to time we may reach out to our eBay members via phone, email
or postal mails as we are actively exploring ways on how to enchance our
service to our eBay members.

We understand your concern and please be assured that we will never ask
sensitive information like bank account numbers or credit card details
nor will we require your password as we never require this informations

To help you better protect yourself from fake eBay and PayPal Web sites,
we have developed a feature for the eBay Toolbar called "Account Guard."
Account Guard includes an indicator of when you are on an eBay or PayPal
Web site or a known spoof (or "phishing") site, buttons to report fake
eBay Web sites, and a password notification feature that warns you when
you may be entering your eBay password on an unverified site.

To learn more about the eBay Toolbar with Account Guard go to
www.ebay.com, click on "Downloads" at the bottom of the page, and then
click on the "eBay Toolbar" link.

Once again, thank you for alerting us to the spoof email you received.
Your efforts help keep eBay a safe and fair place to trade.

Original Message Follows:
-------------------------


I have had several calls on my caller ID from 1 866 3173229 showing "out
of
area" and picked it up last night with this person saying he was from
Ebay and
had a direct line that I could call for any service issues. He said that
I
would get a message listing this number and asked if I had a pen and
paper to
write it down. I said I did not and he repeated to look for the message.
I did
not get a message and thought initially that it was something to do with
my
return to power Seller. Is this a scam going on??
