Hi all

i recall this from a few months ago as well , just received this email , and i used goofbay at the weekend....

It appears that your eBay password has become known to a third party.

To protect the security of your eBay account, we have reset your eBay password and Secret Question (password hint question). As a result, you won't be able to sign into your eBay account with your current password. Please follow the instructions in this email to restore access to your eBay account securely. We recommend that you print out this email as a reference in case you have further questions.

It is possible that an unauthorised third party found out your password using a "spoof" email. These are fraudulent emails made to appear as if they were sent by eBay. Spoof emails attempt to collect your password or other personal information, usually by asking you to click on a link in the email and sign into a spoof website.

Here's what you should do now:

1) Choose a new eBay password
2) Change your Secret Question
3) Update your information in Turbo Lister
4) Protect against spoof emails

1) Choose a new eBay password

We have changed your eBay password and Secret Question to something random. Here's how to choose a new password:

1. Go to the eBay homepage and click on "My eBay".
2. Click on "I've forgotten my password" on the sign-in page.3. Answer two of the questions from your contact information (such as your postcode and Date of Birth) as we have changed your Secret Question.
4. Check your email for the "Forgotten Password" email.
5. Copy the link in this email into the address bar of a new browser window. Do not click on the link.
6. Enter and confirm your new password.


etc etc etc



Is it the same thing again does anyone know
?

Cheers

Can you sign in with your current password? I have to say, if I got this I'd prob just delete it and forget about it? I get so many emails from different banks (that I don't bank with) saying my accounts been suspended due to suspicious activity, or emails from "Paypal" that I don't even bother reading them now. I just delete them straight away. I'm sure it's going to bite me on the bum one of these days because I don't check, but there's just so many chancers out there!

Is the email actually from Paypal have you checked all the headers

I got the same one.
I was dubious at first so I tried to sign in using my existing password and it didn't work, so I followed the steps in the email.

All seems fine now.
