Important message

This is one of the least convincing Ebay scams.  I hope no-one falls for it.  If you do make the mistake of filling in the attached form, you will be giving the scammer all your bank and credit card information – contact your bank immediately if you think you have given this information to a scammer.

NEVER click on a link in an email that claims to come from Ebay (or a bank – or anywhere else).  Enter the address of the Ebay website DIRECTLY into your browser.  If there is a problem with your account you will see it on your account page.  If you think you have given your Ebay details to a scammer – contact Ebay immediately.  Scroll down to see a screenshot of that scam page.

As part of our security measures, we regularly screen activity in the system.
