Scammed email
here is the information from ebay site you must read
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you receive an email that appears to be from eBay that requests sensitive personal information, be cautious. The email may be a "spoof" or "phishing" email. The people who send these fake emails hope that unsuspecting recipients will reply or click on a link contained in the email and then provide sensitive personal information including passwords, social security numbers or credit card numbers.
Legitimate eBay emails
eBay will never ask you to provide account numbers, passwords or other sensitive information through email. If eBay does request information from you, a copy of that email will be in the My Messages box in My eBay. If you have any doubt that an email really is from eBay, open a new browser window, type
www.ebay.com, and sign in. Any email that looks as if it is from eBay, mentions a problem with your account or requests personal information, and is not in My Messages in My eBay, is a spoof (fake) email.
Spoof emails
Spoof emails often include the use of the eBay logo and an eBay address in the "From" line (for example, "From:
support@ebay.com") The email may mimic common eBay emails, such as notifications of problems with your account, “Ask seller a question” emails or offers to become an eBay PowerSeller.
Spoof emails typically have the following characteristics.
* Requests sensitive information. (Example: Please update your credit card number.)
* Starts with a generic greeting. (Example: Dear eBay member)
* Has an urgent tone for quick action. (Example: “Ignoring this message will result in a suspension of your account within 24 hours”.)
* Contains links to Web pages that resemble the eBay sign-in page. (Example spoof Web link:
http://signin-ebay.com/)
When you receive a suspicious email
* Do not click on any link in the email. The purpose of spoof email is to lead you to a Web site and attempt to collect personal information and commit identity theft or other crimes.
* Report the email by forwarding it to
spoof@ebay.com. eBay will review the email and let you know if it was legitimately sent by eBay.
-------Important: In order for eBay investigate your report, you must forward the email without adding attachments, adding text or altering text.
Take a tutorial on how to spot a spoof (fake) email.
Spoof emails are deceptive emails claiming to be sent by well-known companies in an attempt to commit identity theft.
If you have any doubt whether an email is really from eBay:
* Forward the message to
spoof@ebay.com.
* Do not alter the subject line or forward the message as an attachment. If you do this it prevents eBay from investigating it further. eBay investigates every spoof reported. Please note that the automatic response you get from eBay may not address you by name.
* Once you have forwarded the email, you can then delete it from your email account.
Important: Do not click on any link in the email. The purpose of spoof email is to lead you to a Web site and attempt to collect personal information and commit identity theft or other crimes
If you receive suspicious email that appears to come from PayPal, you can forward this to
spoof@paypal.com.
