Dear Ebaying Arachnids, Please excuse the double posting, this is important for everyone to see.
Just to let you know that there are people spoofing emails from Ebay prompting you to log on because your "account is expiring". The subject line on the two I received was "Your account expire, please re-login". I checked with Ebay and these are fake, do not give your information to strangers by "logging in" on the form they provide in the email. If you get one, forward it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ebay says (and I'm quoting from the letter they sent me)- "These emails, commonly referred to as "spoof" messages, are sent in an attempt to collect sensitive personal information from recipients who reply to the message or click on a link to a Web page requesting this information. The email you reported did not originate from, nor is it endorsed by, eBay. We are very concerned about this problem and are working diligently to address the situation. We have investigated the source of this email and have taken appropriate action. You may rest assured that your account standing has not changed and that your listings have not been affected. We advise you to be very cautious of email messages that ask you to submit information such as your credit card number or your email password. eBay will never ask you for sensitive personal information such as passwords, bank account or credit card numbers, Personal Identification Numbers (PINs), or Social Security numbers in an email itself. If you ever need to provide information to eBay please open a new Web browser, type www.ebay.com, and click on the "site map" link located at the top the page to access the eBay page you need."
