This might be due to either of the following reasons: 1. A recent change in your personal information ( i.e. change of address). 2. Submitting invalid information during the initial sign up process. 3. An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due to an internal error within our processors. Please update and verify your information by clicking the link below: LINK REMOVED FOR SAFETY PURPOSES If your account information is not updated within 48 hours then your ability to sell or bid on ebay will become restricted. Sincerely, ebay Safe Harbor Dept. rggoodie aka Richard "catch em doing something right" Edited by rggoodie 03/04/2005 3:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24161 Posts	Posted 03/04/2005 2:38 pm Here is the dead giveaway.. Dear ebay Member ebay will never address you like this, they always use your name. Also ebay does not put sign-in links in any email. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 03/04/2005 2:58 pm There are many different variations on this same theme. It is an attempt to get your account information. Emails like this one should be forwarded to spoof@ebay.com and then deleted. Similar fraudulent emails that appear to come from Paypal are rampant also. These should be forwarded to spoof@paypal.com and then deleted. Richard, just a suggestion, you may want to remove the link since it's causing the thread to extend past the screen. We also don't want anyone to click on it in error. Report this Post to the Staff

collect4fun Pillar of the Community United States 1151 Posts	Posted 03/04/2005 5:34 pm I have gotten that email before too. First time it kinda worried me because I did not know any better. I waited a few days to see what would happen to my account, and nothing did happen so I figured iy was a hoax. Now I just delete them as they come in. Report this Post to the Staff
