Bearing in mind the virus that was described here a few days ago... I just received an email from Ebay which reads in part: Dear valued eBay member, We regret to inform you that your eBay account has been suspended due to concerns we have for the safety and integrity of the eBay community. Per the User Agreement, Section 9, we may immediately issue a warning, temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend or terminate your membership and refuse to provide our services to you if we believe that your actions may cause financial loss or legal liability for you, our users or us. We may also take these actions if we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to us ------------- AFAIK, I've never dealt with Ebay as such, but I've just finished the steps for 'verifying' my PayPal account, which possibly could have triggered something like this. What makes me suspicious is that the message offers a link for "updating your Ebay records". If I'm too dirty for them, why should I be allowed to "update"? Is this some kind of phishing, or does it seem legitimate?
