jumpergirl 0 #5 March 29, 2005 I get emails like this weekly. I send them to eBay ([email protected], I believe) and they take it from there. My account has never been bothered. My Paypal password is the same as eBay, also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ccowden 0 #6 March 29, 2005 Ebay will NEVER contact you for personal information via email. And any emails you get from ebay will use your full name and account details, never "valued customer." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elizfowler 0 #7 March 29, 2005 SPOOF email....as others that come from your bank, credit card company or other online transaction sites. The online thieves have many ways to try and get us but we can be sure that our banks and other sites are trying to keep up with them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
