<DIV>I had received an email from someone pretending to be Pay-Pal (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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This recent phish is a new breed, however, and I am glad I forwarded
it on to eBay. If you receive anything similar don't just delete it. (Ebay Safe
Harbor strongly 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
Trojans**) EBay Customer Support requests that if you
receive Any questionable emails concerning eBay or PayPal that you please
immediately: Forward the entire email without any changes to : <A
href="mailto:spoof@ebay.com">spoof@ebay.com</A> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You will receive within a short time a verification of receipt letter from
eBay that will contain a file number assigned to your report. In a separate
email you will receive further information from the Safe Harbour folks at <A
href="mailto:rswebhelp@ebay.com">rswebhelp@ebay.com</A> telling you if
your reported questionable email was in fact a hoax. It makes sense for those of
us who use eBay and PayPal to assist in rooting out the low-lifes who try and
take advantage of the trust and goof faith of unsuspecting and maybe
uninformed shoppers and sellers.</DIV>
