Thanks for the info, I rec'd an email telling me that I am banned from my ebay account.

Most of these are called "Spoof" or "Phishing" I have also just recieved ones from ebay saying that account is suspended, which was fraud, when logging into account as precaution it was found to be fake. There has been a lot of emails going around as paypal ones aimed at collecting your information. Chase banking is another recent one also.

Hi, Tanya, A very timely warning because there is so much of this going on at the moment. I regularly receive eMails from 'eBay' asking me to complete a payment or supply a an account for a refund. My non existent Chase Bank credit card is always being suspected of receiving unusual traffic - well, once or twice a week, any way. For me, most of these scams are obvious because I do not live in an English speaking country, especially not in America, and would not expect official letters to be in English. Regards

Thank You for the eBay tip.I always get eBay e-mails.I do`nt think any of them has been freaudulant,but it will make me look closer to them.Lisa S.

Hi again! This is a great topic! Yes, these scammers have all kinds of tricks up their sleeves. Here are just a few I've received: 1) "Congratulations on becoming a Power Seller!" - when I have NO listings up. 2) "I sent payment, where is my item? Contact me immediately before I report you to eBay!" - when I have NO listings up. 3) "Your account has been suspended." - sure! 4) "We have noticed illegal activity on your account..." or "We have noticed your account has been logged into from another country...Please log-in to verify who you are..." - when what they really mean is they're TRYING to compromise your account! LOL 5) "What would the shipping cost be to the UK for this item?" - when I have NO listings up. ...and I'm sure there's thousands more, but those are just ones I've gotten recently. LOL Most of them threaten "account suspension" so that's pretty much a dead giveaway that they're trying to scare you into giving up your info. Ebay account problems have increased dramatically recently, so do be careful with e-mails you receive. The best way to tell if an e-mail is from eBay is to actually type in the ebay address yourself, log-in and check your mail there - if the msg you got is in there as well, then it IS from eBay. If it's not in your eBay mail section of my eBay, then it's a scam. Hope this helps! Have a great day! Later, Flo
