Just wanted to warn people -- I just got a fake e-mail noting that my Ebay account was going to be suspended. The people who send the e-mail try to get you to enter your account info to "fix" the problem, but than have access to your account. Ebay security confirmed it was a fraudlent e-mail. Be careful with any e-mails from Ebay!
Fake Ebay E-Mail

I got this email too... It was in my Ebay inbox from someone who had a question on an item for sale. The email said they tried to bid on the item, but couldn't because I was suspended. The link went to a page that looked like Ebay, and asked for my password, but I figured out right away it was a fraud. A few hours later, I got an email from Ebay saying that I probably got a suspicious email. BE CAREFUL!
Thanks dcgal! This subject comes up so often that I just thought it might be helpful if your excellent comment were repeated in big red letters.
^^Absolutely, maybe it should be a sticky at the top of the Ebay sub-forum saying this too!
If you ever get a fake email, forward it to eBay at: [email protected]. They will confirm if it's fake or not.
You can also do the same thing if you get a fake paypal email: [email protected].
