Don't believe a word of it and am certainly not going to follow the link and give them my password etc
Have sent a copy to Ebay to confirm it is fake

 

I had one too a couple of days ago but when i clicked on the link it displayed page error and my ebay has still been fine. You'll know if someone has tried to clone your account cos there will be stuff in MY EBAY that you will not have bought. I think there was a thing going around about a bogus email being sent to you to try and get you to re enter your account details so they could clone you which is ironic as the email is warning you about being cloned!!!!!
I emailed ebay about this and never got a reply!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Why would ebay usa send you an email if you registered on the .co.uk version?

Did it have proper ebay logos or just a blank email?
Also check the email address it was sent from

 

I got the same email 1st thing this morning and when i clicked on the link i got page error as well So i emailed Ebay about it and binned it!
I then get a second one tonight the same even though it states i have 72 hours to contact them? Seems a bit desperate to be genuine to me

 

Pretty cr*p eh!!

 

It had all the ebay logos and looked genuine enough but a couple of weeks before this i got an email as a security warning telling me i had to log in or my account would be suspended within 72 hours. Whoever sent the message failed to think of one thing....i'm always logged in and have my password set to memory so i can go straight to MY EBAY as soon as i access the net. I never have to enter my details!!!! Same for PF.

 

Hadn't thought about the usa bit
It had the correct logo's etc on it and the email address just came-up as Ebay!

 

maybe it is that mitchel bloke off eastbenders???


lmao

 

ive had the same today but i knew it was a fraud because i already got suspended yesterday by the real ebay




sorted now though,money laundering who me

 

Lol got accused of the same by Paypal recently

 

Probably fake Spadge, I got a couple a while ago from boomspeed telling me they were going to close down my account if I didn't send payment in dollars for the bigger one so I sent back telling them that I didn't want the bigger one & couldn't get US money orders anyway, but they were very insistant that I should pay up or my account gets closed down, I had 72 hours to pay up or it would be terminated... 4 months later my account still works!

Plus the supposed eBay email telling me something about me needing to send my details, but the stupid f*ckeit that tried duping me sent it as a normal email without any of the ebay logos from a none ebay email address!

 

I think it's fake, they will probably get your id and do some shit with it! I got the same thing, and I trashed it! this was a month ago.

 

Look at the website address, the scqi bit means its got to be fake!!

Dont send owt

Neil

 

Its a fake,i passed mine onto the F.B.I.Its an attempt to gain access to paypal and other sensitive information via your e/Bay account.

 

think about it..... how many names did u try when u signed up ?!?! it WILL NOT let anyone with the same username as an existing user to register.

 

just what we need, 2 expensive cossie breakers on ebay

 

I've had 2 of these sent to me now. I passed one of them on to ebay and they told me that it is a fake.

 

Its not my fault if my stuff makes good money matey!
I always start it low with no reserve so blame the other punters on there if it goes beyond what you would call reasonable chap not me

 

ebay seems to be going down hill
