Account Pre-Suspension Notice




Dear lotust1 (lotust@optonline.net),

You have received this email because we have strong reason to believe that your eBay account had been recently compromised used by a third party without your authorization. In order to prevent any fraudulent activity from occurring we are required to open an investigation into this matter. To speed up this process, you are required to verify your eBay infos by following the link below.

http://signin.ebay.com/eBayISAPI.dll?Signln&amp;UserID=lotust1

(To complete the verification process you must fill in all the required fields)

Please Note - If your account informations are not updated within the next 72 hours, then we will assume this account is fraudulent and will be suspended. We apologize for this inconvenience, but the purpose of this verification is to ensure that your eBay account has not been fraudulently used and to combat fraud.

We apreciate your support and understading, as we work together to keep eBay a safe place to trade.

Thank you for your patience and attention in this important matter.

Regards,

Naomi,
Fraud Prevention Group
 
It is a fake. Forward it to Ebay.

1) They would not know your account has been hacked unless you report it.
2) They would never ask you to sign in thru a link in an email
3) That has been going around forever.

🙂
 
Looks legitimate to me. You had better give them all the information they ask for or your account will be locked. Once your account is locked it's a real PITA to get it reactivated.

Ignore him, he's the resident thread crapper without a doubt. Dont believe me? Do a quick search in off-topics with his username as the query base.
 
the reason it goes to ebay is because fusetalk parsed the url.. In the acutal email it will take you somewhere else.

Never sign into paypal/ebay/yada/yada from a link in your email.. If it is legit, go to the site and login there.
 
dam there are so many scams out there. I wonder how many people fall for this BS stuff. I almost did!

The lack of proper English also gives it away. It is worded like a Taiwan motherboard manual.
