Send it to them and ask if it's real or not.

Never click on links in an email saying its from ebay or Paypal , I get these kind of emails everyday, with ebay they suspend you then ask questions.

I get those all the time, and I don't even have an eBay or PayPal account. If you're not sure that you're in the right place, you can always right click on part of the page and click properties. It will give you the actual address even if the address bar says different. If the page address is from somewhere other than the site that requested the info, pretty good chance it's a fake.

[BJ_M]

some of them though are tricky -- as people register look aliike domain names -- so they do appear to be the right one

[ViRaL1]

I've actually filled out a couple of the forms with bullshit information. :P

[BJ_M]

fake ebay email i got today -- several of them in fact .....

[ViRaL1]

That's a poor attempt at business communications. No way legal would ever approve that.

[Ripper2860]

A "Temporal" suspension sounds pretty extreme!!

For God's sake -- do what they say. Otherwise it could cause a rip in the space/time continuim and subject the world, as we know it, to complete and utter destruction!!!!

[BJ_M]

i like how it says that ebay will never ask you for credit card info in a email under 'trading guidlines'

[pyrate83]

Get em all the time and reporting them to Ebay doesn't get it fixed either.
