Just an FYI from me that in the past 12 months
I've received 65 Spammed
attempts to have me update either my eBay or PayPal account information,
to a fraudulent party of course. Some of these are damned clever and I'd
never respond to one of them without reading the html source first.
Basically I'm just backing up the adage to not respond to eMailed account
change requests, ever, probably.
I generally ignore them. Or if not, I certainly don't use the link
supplied in the e-mail. I go to the "front door" and log in
regular-like, and then do whatever update might be necessary.
