    I get those lame phising "you need to verify your information" emails every day now. They are always sen to to addresses that I don't even use for Ebay, so I know right away they are just crap and just forward them to


    Today, however, I got a totally different one, and it was sent to the actual email address I use for Ebay


    It took me a few minutes to decide if I should follow along and see what this was about, but I decided to check my Ebay account first, and saw no problems or messages in "My Ebay", so I forwarded the email to spoof and it was indeeed a fake.

    Watch out, these stupid scammers are all over the place. Although now that I take a closer look, is "INFORMATIONS" even a word??? :D

    That is quite a good fake, if there is such a thing. Almost convincing. You definitely did the right thing by logging into your eBay account directly and ignoring the email link.

    Yeah, I get these all the time in my gmail account. They're all in the spam folder now.
