Ebay warning!!!

[HuggerCST]

I recieved this email today, but thought it looked strange, so I reported it to ebay. IT IS FAKE! If you get one, DO NOT RESPOND! Whoever sent it is trying to get your sensitive information, credit card #s, passwords, etc. Here is a copy ;

From: "eBay Trust and Safety Department"
Subject: Urgent Notice


Dear eBay Member,

Due to recent account takeovers and unauthorized listings, eBay is
introducing a new account verification method. From time to time, randomly
selected accounts (seller and/or buyer) are subjected to an advanced
verification process based on our merchant accounts/bank relations and
customers credit card. eBay may also request in an email message
scanned/faxed copies of one or more photo ID's. Your account confirmation may
go wrong if your credit card/bank account is expired, or if you have
changed your credit card number, billing address etc. without letting us
know about the change.
Subject of this verification process are also the accounts that have
unpaid dues to eBay.
Your account is not suspended, but if in 48 hours after you receive
this message your account is not confirmed we reserve the right to suspend
your eBay registration. If you received this notice and you are not the
authorized account holder, please be aware that it is in violation of
eBay policy to represent oneself as another eBay user. Such action may
also be in violation of local, national, and/or international law. eBay
is committed to assist law enforcement with any inquires related to
attempts to misappropriate personal information with the intent to commit
fraud or theft. Information will be provided at the request of law
enforcement agencies to ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted to the full
extent of the law.

there is a paypal scam also. i`ve gotten 2 in the last month. it says they are having billing problems and want you to update your info. it starts out "Dear Paypal customer". i contacted them and they said they will ALWAYS use your full name in ALL emails to you from paypal.

Always a good idea to report these to ebay.

They have been tracking these down.

i get letters like that 3 times a week nothing new about them. they (scammers)been doing that for years. just never click on an email link always go to www.ebay.com or www.paypal.com manually by typing it in address box and you'll always be safe.
