I also had a dodgy looking e mail from 'ebay' today.

It was from suspend@ebay.com and had the title TKO NOTICE: eBay Registration Suspension.

It seems very iffy to me; looks convincing at first glance but when you look a little deeper there are some clues as to its non-authenticity. Eg- the ebay logo has an R instead of a TM, and does not have the 'dot co dot uk' attached as part of the logo. It reads as follows:


Dear eBay User,

During our regular update and verification of the accounts, we could not verify your current information. Either your information has changed or it is incomplete.

As a result, your access to bid or buy on eBay has been restricted.

According to our site policy you will have to confirm that you are the real owner of the eBay account by log in and complete the form that will pop up or else your account will be suspended without the right to register again with eBay.

After you will login please verify your information in order to complete this verification.

Thank you

eBay Customer Support

You then log in via your e mail message and, I suspect, pass on your password to the great unwashed...
