eBay Account Suspended email...watch out! (1 Viewer)

[Prentice Cotham]

Got this one today...very real looking. I actually did sign in and it took me to a page to reenter all my info. I smelled scam then. I closed that window and went straight to ebay to change my password. I've already report it to ebay. Beware! Here's the email sans all the ebay graphics around it.

This one has been going around in one form or another for a few weeks. You are right, it looks damn real .. even comes from an ebay.com email address.

Be careful ...
