EBAY fraud alert

29 Aug 2003

...
   I recently got
an email from the "Ebay security audit team" or something to
 that affect. Says they periodically verify contact information, and couldn't
 verify mine, asking me to follow a link to update my account or it would be
 disabled in 5 days. 
I reported the same thing to eBay about 2 months ago. Whats worse, about a week ago I got
the same thing from PayPal !

So, take care, and NEVER give your accountnumber away, or follow those links 
The scum have been doing this for months.  The eBay ones are the most common, I've
lost track of how many I've gotten.  The PayPal ones so far are far less common,
I've only gotten one or two of them.
