There is also a PayPal spoof that has/is making the rounds. I've received a couple of those at my old email addy. Just remember that neither eBay nor PayPal will ever email you and ask for any submissions of private information. It's up to you to go to their secure, encrypted site to update any of that info The PayPal spoof website/URL I traced back the UK as the origin. Beware, these hackers, scammers, and virus creators are getting more and more sophisticated.
As another warning, I'd suggest anyone using Windows ME or greater to download all the latest Microsoft Security Patches too. Firewalls aren't a bad idea either, especially if you are using a DSL or Cable connection. Even though you don't have your browser or email program open, you are STILL connected to the net if your computer and modem are on.
Bestest, Dave

Dear List members;
There are fraudulent ebay email requests flying around that seem to be genuine ebay requests for credit card information. I have contacted/reported a number of these to ebay and have received notice that they were fraudulent email requests from a third party.
PLEASE do not open attachments, or provide any credit card information as these are attempts to steal credit card information.
Forward all such suspect requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] They can confirm/not confirm the spoof within a couple of minutes.
Sincerely,
Dave Freeman
