... saying there was some fraudelent eBay activity linked to my eBay accout & email. There was a link on the email asking me to enter my eBayID & password. It also said that IF i didnt respond in 72 hours they are terminating my account.

I smell a fraudulent email, that this didnt really originate from eBay. Is there someplace I can ask about this? :confused:

Forward it to spoof@ebay.com

I get at least one of these per day - usually 2 or 3


THEY ARE ALL FAKE

Ignore it.

I never open those things. If you are concerned that any might be true just log into your ebay account and check things out.

I get at least 1 like that a day as well.

i alsojust started to get these around feb or march so i went open my ebay acct and did a new pasword and did a 9.00 payment and contacted ebay about this email. i havent had any problems yet from this.

I get several of those a week also. If you are not sure if something is real or not you can forward it to spoof@ebay.com. They will let you know if it is fake or not.

I send them tons of those fakes, but they keep on coming... LOL

just got that today- interesting scam- telling me someone is hijacking my ebay account so i can give them my ebay account so they can hijack it!
LAME!

i have been getting those and i just ignore them! be careful though, i got one the other day that had a trojan virus in it!

If you look at the full headers to the emails, you will see they originate from an eBay service other than eBay.

At this point if any regular user of this board thinks those emails are real, it would be really sad.

All of you people get them 2 to 3 times a day?? lol I get one every 6 months.. and I do forward them to spoof..

I get these constantly as well. The first one I got, I wasn't sure what to think, so i hit it and put the wrong Ebay password in, them a BS CC number, then a long string of curses for my other info. When it accepted it all, I knew it was fake.

I get another one that almost got me good. At least once a week, I get an ebay email that is titled QUESTION FROM EBAY MEMBER. When I open it, it is a request for a shipping quote from an Ebay member for an item that isn't mine, to a seller that isn't me. I get Ebay screw ups all the time on my auctions, in my store and what not, that I just assumed it was crossed wires. I never replied, but I just kept getting them. the emails were safe, or they wouldn't have been opened. One day, after getting a TON of them, I finally clicked the auction link to let the seller know i was getting his mail...The link too me to a virus. my Norton's lit up the screen, I was totally afraid to even touch the damn computer. Luckily Norton's caught it, but I had to delete some windowsNT file, dunno what it was, but now my computer doesn't save cookies. Kinda sucks, i have to log in to yoJoe and all the other forums every time I visit. I have no idea how to fix it. Anyone?

I must have gotten the same kind of thing, sort of. I have the cookie problem with ebay, only it happens now and then,not all the time.
