I got this as well but thankfully Gmail picked it up and identified it as a potential source of phishing. Stay well clear.

Yeah, I got that one a couple of weeks back and posted on here.

It's a bit more misleading than the 'account suspended' ones as it appeals to the old ego!!

I just got an email form "Ebay Inc" telling me that someone has been using my account fraudulently and could I please follow this link. I did follow the link and logged in, but then it asked for my credit card details including PIN number. I'm not silly enough to fall for that one, but will they be able to access my ebay account now?

svmitche

YES!!!

Change your password as soon as you can.

tammy_nadine

Changed it!

Tust me to get an email like that when have only just woken up (night shifts) and brain not in gear. ::) Am only glad that I was awake enough to catch on to the credit card details bit!

Have phoned my mum to warn her too.
