Thank you for using eBay!

I have no clue what this is about, so I'm assuming it's pure junk. Also, I tried to click on the links, but I had a pop up on my computer basically saying the site could be dangerous, so I advise not clicking on them.

Thanks Jamming, I was hoping someone would tell me that. It's the first one I received, dirtbag people out there I tell ya.

Be very careful if you have ebay and paypal accounts. Do not click on the links in those fake emails. Scammers tryiing to steal your account.

[BCUS28]

Thanks longhorn, I'll keep a tight watch on that.

I got many of those and the funny thing is i never sold on e-bay just bought.

I clicked on the link, but I'm assuming they ask for your info, yes? I X'd out when I read they try to steal your info...assume the links wouldnt be there if just clicking on them was bad...

I removed the links.
Failsafe: Log in and check your actual account messages for any activity.

Also,for future reference(term ebay scam email )

If in doubt just Forward the whole email to either
spoof-at-paypal.com
spoof-at-ebay.com

You will get a verification email directly from them.
