Spoof Email from Pay pal and Ebay

Two new spoof emails again. [img]images/smiley_icons/angry.gif[/img] [img]images/smiley_icons/angry.gif[/img]



If you have received either of the following emails please don't open or click on any links.



#1- Ebay



Subject:Important Notice:Verification Required to Avoid Account Suspension



Address from which it was sent is aw-confirm@ebay.com



Please forward this to spoof@ebay.com



#2- Paypal



Subject:User Agreement has been changed



Address which appears is service@paypal.com



Please forward this to spoof@paypal.com



We are constantly receiving these emails. If you notice some weirdness in the email don't click on any links.



Ebay usually sends email that are address in your name as well as Paypal.



If you open any email and all it states is Ebay user or Dear sir or madame it is most likely a spoof email. If you are unsure just send it to the spoof email address above and they will let you know for sure.

They have been doing this for years, sometimes you get emails with the actual Ebay or Paypal logo, so it looks official, but its not!!

There used to be one that said

"WE NEED TO UPDATE YOUR PAYMENT INFORMATION"

and it asks you to re-enter your credit card or banking information! This is phishing, and it can be used for ID fraud.

BE CAREFUL EVERYONE!! Paypal or Ebay will never ask you to update your payment info!!

I just got that email stating it was from paypal, about updating my information. I have been of ebay for many years now, and when ever I get these kinds of email I forward them to ebay. You can never be too careful.

I get them all the time. EBay or PayPal never send anyone emails like that. Just delete.

I used to get them all the time with eBay and Pay Pal...I just delete them...

Smiles & Hugs...
