    I think I got that one last year. Who knows. I've received so many fraudulent emails about my eBay account and PayPal account that I've lost track.

    I got that one the other day, I thought it was a scam so I fowarded it to e-bay. It did make me realize its time to change my password.

    If I dont receive at least 3 a week I am lucky. I just forward the email with the headers to Ebay and delete it. Drives me crazy but seems just part of email now. imageimage

  • Besides the normal fake e-mails I get from e-Bay, I've received 3 from them that were quaranteened at my local server with viruses! The IP address was "EU". Also, the last fake paypal e-mail I got said my account was hijaked and it would be my "choise" to take action. Well, when I saw the word choice miss spelled I figured it was fake. BUT, if I knew back in Nov what I know now, the first "something is wrong with your account" e-mail I received from e-Bay, I probably would have disregarded it. As it turned out it was really from e-Bay.
