Barry, I would simply email ebay csutomer support and let them know and forward the emails.
Let them take care of ensuring someone is not scamming them and their customers and giving them a bad name. They have more resources and time than you.

Today is the second time I have received an email supposedly from eBay, official looking and everything asking me to verify my account. The first I ignored because it was asking for credit card info, which I never gave them and as far as I can remember, you dont need it to register as a buyer it said that if I didnt verify within 24 (seemed a litly timely sinc what if I dont reed my emai every day) hours that my account would be deleted of course it wasnt but I just got another one, this one also says basically the same thing, very offical looking with the ebay logo, even secure, but the link on this one gives me a 404 not found error. Now I dont mind re-verifying, but I am not sure why I would need to. However if this is a scam to get info what should on do. Any way to insure that this is legit?? Another thing that makes me suspect is the return address. The first way to ebaysomething @ aol.com and this one is ebay [EMAIL PROTECTED] They appear to be addressed to only me not a whole list of others on the message. Has anybody else received these?? Is this legit?? -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
