I have E-Bay question about e-mail I received from them.

I received an e-mail this morning from e-bay that stated that I needed to verify my account or my account would be suspended for 24 hours and them terminated, has anyone else also received this, I did not click where it said to I deleted the e-mail what do you think?

It's not real. If you have any questions just forward it to spoof@ebay.com and they will tell you if there is really a problem with your acct.

I got one this morning from Paypal. I really wish they could catch these people.

Since most of these forgeries come from overseas countries that are having problems keeping their own citizens from starving/getting shot/etc., catching electronic fraud is not high on the list...

I received it too. Definitely a scam; you were smart to delete.

I got this as well. I sent it into Paypal and then logged into Paypal.com to change my password.

I did a "properties" on the PAYPAL logos in this email. Pretty wierd address popped up that is NOTHING like the ones that E-bay sends. This and the fact it was sent to my JUNK MAIL while all other Paypals get sent to my inbox were what flagged it PHONEY to me.

As to the E-mail saying "your account will be suspeneded if you don't respond in 24hours (72 Hours for the most recent Paypal E-mail)" I say let them suspend the account (IF it were to be real) and then you can always call their customer service line to get it back. Better to always change and update stuff from the actual Websites (Ebay.com / Paypal.com) then to click on some random link in an E-mail.
