I get those all the time as well...but if you move your PC's "arrow" over the URL given

(without "clicking"!!!!!), you will see that the address has nothing to do with ebay or paypal...

It wanted to up-date, and check information, on my e-bay pay-pal account., this was for security reasons. It sounded good, it looked good,( had all the e-bay, and Pay- Pal logo's) however I have never bid on, bought anything, or sold anything on e-bay, and don't have a pay-pal account. I just dumped it as spam. But now ,you just have to wonder.Ya'll have a nice day, Dave   -------------- Original message -------------- From: PNigelW@xxxxxxx e bay needs to tighten up its security and stop refering to fraud as "spoof" I get 3 or 4 fradulent e mails per week pretending to be various e bay mails, all asking for my account details, if the mail isnt in your "My e bay" file it isnt from ebay. However last weekend I posted a listing on the US e bay site, ebay.com, my account is through ebay.co.uk, with no reference to me e bay removed the listing and suspended my account. When this happens it is very difficult to contact e bay, as you cant sign in! Apparently e bay thought it was an unauthorised third party listing, quite why as all the details were mine, I do not know and trying to find out from them their reasoning has been impossible. be vigilan t as there is much fraud about, it is normally quite obvious if you look carefully, always read and reread the description and all details before bidding... apologies to anyone who doesnt think this is Imperial based.
