Yup, thats a scam, i recieved one not too long ago, so i chedk my account, and it turns out no one had been on my account and made any bids.

a good way to check is hover over the link and see if the hover over link points to ebay or an ip address or different domain, theres no way to fake that

[muddyfox470]

scam all the way

i lol when i received 3 within a few weeks, onto my email address where the ebay account was closed! quite funny!

one thing, is that, any site that asks you to enter in your details to 'check' or revalidate is (prob) most definitely a fraud!

at least u spotted it!

forward it to abuse@ebay.co.uk - they normally give you a reply explaining everything and can look into it.

If it says "Dear eBay Member" then it's a scam. Official mailings will use your real name, and ask you to visit the homepage to login and read more about the issue.
