Has anybody received a "Security Update" email from Ebay lately? (SCAM?)

[TripleAAA]

I've received two emails supposedly from Ebay titled "Security Update" which asks the following:


"For security reasons please re-enter your user ID and password. "



The email looks very professional, has the Ebay logo, and links to various services offered by Ebay (such as Feedback Forums) The sender email address is "aw-confirm@ebay.com"

I'm still not going to enter this info as I've never received an email like this before from Ebay in the 4 or 5 years my account has been with them. Just curious if anyone else has received this email in the past few days...

scam. ebay will never ask you your login/PW via email

for that matter, almost NO COMPANY WILL EVER ASK

Any time you're asked to enter your username and password via email, it's a scam.

SCAM - no website should EVAR ask you for login info. i always enter the following to reply,

login: fuk
passw: YoU

eBay email scams are looking more and more believable lately. i feel really bad for the non-techie/eBay seller who sees this. it looks so damn real and the links usually goto the real eBay pages.

Yep, the links go straight to the Ebay homepage. I typed in "Phuckyou" for my username and "Scammers" for the password and when I hit submit it just took me straight to the homepage with no explanations or "Thank you".

Not...even....a...Thank you... hahah
