How many more of these things - ANOTHER Ebay scam!!!

[always quiet]

This one showed up in my email today!

Dear eBay member


We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your eBay account from a
foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe that your account was hijacked
by a third party without your authorization.

If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts
may have been initiated by you.
However, if you are the rightful holder of the account, click on the link below,
fill the form and then submit as we try to verify your identity.

http://cgi3.ebay.com//aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?VerifyIdentity&ssPageName=eBayISAPIdentityXVERified2.html


The log in attempt was made from:
IP address: 24.222.255.125
ISP host: u255n125.eastlink.ca


If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to temporally suspend
your account.

We ask that you allow at least 72 hours for the case to be investigated and we
strongly recommend not to make any changes to your account in that time.

If you received this notice and you are not the authorized account
holder, please be aware that it is in violation of eBay policy to represent
oneself as another eBay user. Such action may also be in violation of
local, national, and/or international law. eBay is committed to assist
law enforcement with any inquires related to attempts to misappropriate
personal information with the intent to commit fraud or theft.
Information will be provided at the request of law enforcement agencies to
ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

*Please do not respond to this e-mail as your reply will not be received.

Thanks for your patience as we work together to protect your account.

I looked into the website and were they ever asking for some specific information - Name, address, social, credit card#, debit card #, PIN number, bank name, bank routing #, account #!! I sure hope no one falls for this. When will this ebay scam ever end!!!

I've been getting this same email and I keep deleting it and it keeps coming back immediately. I must have deleted it 15 times one day last week and finally it hasn't come back. I haven't even used Ebay in a couple of years. I too hope no one falls for it and gives out all that information - what a nightmare that would be.

I have gotten this one as well and again Delete it and fast!

We've received something similar from PayPal and reported it to them via spoof@paypal.com. There is also spoof@ebay.com to report suspicious e-mails to. I just forward the e-mail with all of the headers showing to the spoof address.
