Problem with Ebay spoof...

[rjtremor at core.com (Matthew H.)]

I almost did, myself. I suspected something was weird with it, so I went to
the main site, through my browser and all, and fiddled with things there,
while deleting the message from the E-Bay Billing Dept, and Mary Kimmel...
not long after that, I got another e-mail stating the same thing. I sent it
to e-Bay's spoof team, and they said it was a bad e-mail, not one of theirs.
'Tis a nasty scam, no question.

If anyone gets an e-mail saying they need to update their info, lest they be
deleted from e-Bay, report it to e-Bay themselves, and make sure.

account.  I had just changed a few things, so I had no reason to think
something was up.  I replied with my personal information, and I then
promptly noticed a 312.87 dollar charge on my account, taken by someone from
an ATM in Italy.  I figured out what I did wrong, contacted the bank, and I
am all square now.  The trouble is, the fokkers keep trying to get me to
re-verify my stuff, so I can fall for it again...  I know now the way to
spot the difference between Ebay and an impersonator, so I am safe there...
