"Dear eBay member,

You have received this email because you or someone else had
used your identity to make false purchases on eBay. For
security reasons, we are required to open an investigation
on this matter. We treat online fraud seriously and all
cases which cannot be resolved between eBay and the other
involved party are forwarded for further investigations to
the proper authorities. To speed up this process, you are
required to verify your personal information against the
eBay account registration data we have on file by following
the link below.

Please save this fraud alert id for your reference.

When submitting sensitive information via the website, your
information is protected both online and off-line. When our
registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive
information (such as credit card number and/or social
security number), that information is encrypted and is
protected with the best encryption software in the industry
- SSL.

Please Note - If your account informations are not updated
within the next 72 hours, we will assume this account is
fraudulent and it will be suspended. We apologize for this
inconvenience, but the purpose of this verification is to
ensure that your eBay account has not been fraudulently used
and to combat fraud.


We apreciate your support and understanding, as we work
together to keep eBay a safe place to trade.

Thank you for your patience in this matter.

Regards, Safeharbor Department (Trust and Safety
Department)
eBay Inc."

Well, if you've never used ebay before it won't matter if
any account is closed even in the extremely unlikely event
that this isn't phishing or whatever it's called. Ignore it.

They're just trying to panic you into sending them your
account details.

Someone already used my details on another webshop and I had
to change my credit card. I've had my 150€ back though.

expect a visit from the police shortly. you've never used
ebay? bullshit. another typical scammer that's trying to
make a living out of defrauding innocent people. i hope you
get sent down. you people make me sick. and trying to make
an innocent post on a website isn't going to fool anyone,
especially the pigs.

send them your checking account and routing number
immediately! It's a matter of national security!

...and your IP address just so they can check its not you.
and your bank account number, so they can check its not you.
then you'll be in the clear.
