HELP Ebay question

[granmanh603]

I just got an email from ebay telling me it was going to suspend my account if I don't resolve my problem....what problem I don't have one..every one is paid and I have 100% feedback. Does this seem like a scam email or has anyone else gotten one like this. Thanks

It's probably Spam....don't answer it or click on any links in it. Go to your EBay account page and if you can get onto it, then you are alright. You can also forward the email to spoof@ebay.com.
They keep track of the spam that goes to their users.

Thanks I will do that. The whole thing is soo scary.

Franne, I did what you said forwarded it to the spoof address at ebay and they already answered and said that it was not an email from them. Thank goodness I had seen some posts on here previously and was suspicious. Thank you again for telling me where to send the email. It worked great. Carol

Don't be shocked if you get a lot of these. I automatically forward any and all to spoof@ebay.com. You will also get some that look like they're coming from PayPal. Forward them to spoof@paypal.com.

Ok I'll keep an eye out for them. I think I might have gotten some generic ones about Pay Pal but I had ignored them. Now I know where to forward them too. I was very easy. This one scared me because it said it was going to suspend my account in a few days if I did not answer.

I've been getting an email lately from Citi Bank. Telling me I need to click on the link and give them information. Failing to do so might cause them to close my account. I don't have an account w/Citi Bank. My feeling is they are sending out these emails to everyone. Knowing that a percentage of people have an Citi Bank account and will respond, thereby getting there personal information.

What will they think of next?

FYI...I have gotten the scams about paypal too and forwarded them.

Exactly - if they send out 5000 emails and only 20 people respond they still have basically enough to steal the identity and money from 20 people. If each of those had $2000 in their account......welll you get the picture. Well worth their time.

I get these all the time. You should always be weary (sp?) when you get those from any company. You can always call or check out the website to make sure it's legit. Glad you didn't get scammed!
