New ebay phishing scam.... You've been suspended!

[Blackjack]

I got this one today, and since my account is fine, I'm assuming it's a scam.

I get at least one of those a week. Along with the one that says in the e-mail that you will have to enter bank/credit card number and PIN for it and the normal crap like that. I am tired of it.

I just got this one earlier today that I mentioned last night:

I get at least one of those a day, and similar ones for PayPal on a routine basis. The only legitimate emails I get from eBay (not including emails directly related to auctions I am listing or bidding on) are once a month when I get billed.

I gave up on those phisher emails and they've been set in OE to automatically delete any eBay and Paypal email that doesn't have the right subject in it.

 

No matter how many gets sent out, there will be a few somewhere who falls for it and makes the scammer's life worthwhile.
