Viggen Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 this is most probably a Phishing Attack, beware... to make sure, go to the Ebay site http://pages.ebay.com/securitycenter/?ssPageName=home:f:f:US and tick the Spoof (fake) email and report it, they should be able to help you, my guess is it is 99.99% a fake mail you received... cheers viggen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlapse Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Never ever ever 'validate' or 'reactivate' from an email link. If you have, you need to go change your password immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 I received a phish recently trying to imitate amazon.com. And you know what, I still get those freaking hoax e-mails asking me to set up my bank account for starving third worlders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost_Warrior Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Some things you DO need to validate through email, but that is done pretty much immediately after you sign up for it (for example AIM) and then you should never get another such email from them. I get those account emails from places I've never heard of...and I KNOW I don't have an account to validate Those "please send $10,000 to an offshore bank account" emails still crack me up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
