eBay spoof

OK, so many of you will already have come across this - but it's fair to warn you again anyway. Today I recieved two e-mails from "eBay" telling me that they required a change of password on my account because apparently "there were multiple logins from other computers". The mail provides a quick link to change this password. Now this is obviously rubbish, because I've just closed my eBay account.... and I investigated a little firther and discovered that it not only asks for your full name, card number and expiration date - but blatantly asks for the PIN code for that card!! Speaks for itself really, so beware of these spoof mails people safe and happy shopping!

Yes for some reason that got sparked up again. I've noticed plenty of those emails in the junk mail lately.
I wouldn't be surprised if the bank information stuff started again.

The Holiday's are comming. I bet that has something to do with it. The one time I got one I noticed right off it was fake because they sent it to the wrong e-mail address that I use for e-bay.

i also got two emails today from some spammer claiming they were ebay saying my account has been suspended and then one saying i need to update my account
I sent a copy to ebay, I wonder who in the world theses's people are,I also got a email from someone who made a bid on my auction last week saying i made them a offer and did i want to sell it my auction closed over a week ago reserve not met,so i have no idea what he was talking about
I know good and well I did no such thing so i also sent a copy of that to ebay I think im going to change my password to be safe

ebaz germanz does not require a credit card at all

I think it's funny how I get them too and I'm not even a member of Ebay!

Thank you for the warning! Obviously for this to continue, someone is falling for it. How unfortunate.

I get those Ebay spoof emails all the time too. Some of them are completely obvious fakes, but others are more sophisticated. I just delete them all. Ebay has a messaging system for your account. If they really need to get in touch with you, you'll have an "alert" message when you sign in.

Watch out for the PayPal spoof emails too. I've been getting those as well.

I had one yesterday saying paypal was letting me know of an instant payment that I had made for some watch for $400. I knew right away it was spoof mail but they are getting desperate. I mean come on.... I know what I bid and win on. So I just forwarded it to paypal and of course it was a spoofmail. Jerks.lol I always just send them on to ebay or paypal.

Yup, I'm very good at spotting phish, but some of those PayPal ones are SLICK.

Ditto for me! I've looked at eBay but never registered.

You should always forward them to: [email protected]

I got one from amazon saying that someone was trying to purchase something in my name or something like that. I was so scared that I ended up calling Amazon help desk and they told me that it was a hoax. Scared me to DEATH though! Better safe, than sorry.
