Do not click anything for any emails like
this. The best way to check your account is just to go to your usual link and
then check your account from there. This is a fraud. You will find that you
will get many of these over time, all probably from foreign account hackers.
All details should come up once you log
into your account, irrespective of the notices that you receive.

Subject: [MOPO] Hi all, I really
need your advice....
Hi MOPO members,
Daniel here. I'm sorry to bother you all, but I could really do with some good
advice.
3 days ago , I received an email from [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject TKO
Notice : Urgent Fraud Investigation saying that my eBay account had been
compromised and that I was to verify my account by following a certain link. It
also said that if I did not update my account within 72 hours, my account would
be suspended. I did not click on the link.
72 hours later, I receive the same notice, again. ( see below )
It looks really legitimate, and I certainly don't want my account suspended,
but does anyone know if this is a fraud ? Is there an address at eBay that I
could write to about this ?
What on earth does "TKO" mean anyway ?
If anyone could help me with this, I would really appreciate it....
Thanks in advance,
daniel
in Singapore
