(concerning a dispute over an alleged sale) informing me my account had been
billed for an item. They also stated there was a problem with a confirmation of
my address I had no knowledge of the item involved or the person listed as
being a so-called seller. I ignored it until today when I received a Customer
Warning from eBay concerning *spoof* emails. I did as the warning suggested and
forwarded onto them the entire email I had received. I just got confirmation
from eBay that the so-called "Pay Pal letter" was in fact spoof and
is now under investigation. I have received,over the years, several bogus eBay
and PayPal communications asking for passwords, account numbers, etc. and
deleted them immediately. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

advises NOT going to any website mentioned in the questionable email.
I am supposing their concern is because they feel the website could be a
doorway site for several possible types of nasty

low-lifes who try and take advantage of the trust and goof faith of unsuspecting
and maybe uninformed shoppers and sellers.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
