This is nothing new. I get at least one a month. I blow them off without a
second glance. E-Bay rarely e-mails anyone UNLESS it is a special offer or to tell you of something you're selling or bidding on. IF you're not sure, go directly to the E-Bay site - NOT by clicking on to any links in any suspicious e-mails you may get. C. "Bob" wrote in message .. . The marginal literacy alone ought to raise enough suspicion... Daphne + Dave wrote: Seems there is a FAKE EMAIL send from someone other that Ebay asking fer Verification of Account Info.

Confirm my account information and continue beeing a member of the eBay Online Auction Community. Never share your eBay password to anyone! It's not just ebay accounts. They are trying to get into any account that they can. I get at least 5 of these style messages a week from various banks, supposedly. They are always telling me that something terrible has happened to my account and thear site and enter my account and pin number so they can verify me properly. Usually I don't even have an account there. Always take a close look at the link they provide. It may look official in the message, but really doesn't connect you there. Banks will never ask you to do this, nor will Ebay, paypal, or any of the money handlers. You just got to keep on top of things. -- Martin E. Meserve http://www.k7mem.150m.com |
