Just letting everyone know there are alot of ebay spoof emails going around. I myself have had quite a few people acting as ebay telling me they are still waiting for an item i didnt have for sal and my account would be supspended and they would call the police. Some have even come from the UK site.
Has anyone else recieved any spoofs from so called 'ebayer'?

Ive got a few that look pretty official except for the addy that theyre from. They say that if I dont re enter my account details, my a/c will be suspended.
I like to reply with a/c name ; F*ck You
a/c # ; 6969696969
Postal adress ; 69 F*ck Street,
F*ckingham Palace,
F*ckchesterton.

Id love to see if they try do anything with those details...

I just remembered the first time I did that, after 10 mins I sh*t myself and emailed RealEbay saying 'this isnt from u guys is it?', just to be on the safe side. All the fakes get logged so its good to let them know.

Yeah . . . . I hasve had 2 or three of them, they use the identical Ebay/paypal Logos, and even the email address was very similar IE support@paypaL.com.au (capital 'L' instead of 'l')

The email was like D74 said, it said I needed to update my personal details, so I clicked the url, and was directed to this site that is identical in appearance to Paypal, with all blank fields that needed updating IE Username, password, email address etc etc, and apparently it has a keystroke java running in the backgroud which reports all the fields to the hackers, which they can then access your paypal account.
