WARNINGS

1. The spoof email pretends to be from eBay and requests verification of account details to keep the account active. Details are captured from the webpage and forwarded to a local script.

2. eBay NEVER send out emails requesting details from account holders.

 

" Dear eBay User, As stated in the User Agreement, Section 41.1, we may send you this email. We regret to inform you that your eBay account  can be suspended if you do not solve your problems and you do not co-operate."...

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
