Just received this email - am I correct in assuming this is a scam ?
There's a "click here" direct link to confirm my identity (
), and I haven't received any messages similar to this via EBay messages
Anyone else had one?

thanks all for the confirmation. I've been trying to find a link in EBay's "help" centre to report it, but can't seem to find contact details. It's almost as if they don't want to know......"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it" Einstein 19510

I think there are far too many for companies like eBay to deal with. My spam folder is full to overflowing with these phishing emails, either telling me I've been suspended, or more recently telling me to log in through their link to be a silver power seller.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

It used to be best to forward emails to spam@ebay.com but I've not used that for years so no idea if it is still alive.I think there are far too many for companies like eBay to deal with.

They have an automatic response telling you mail was a fake- even if you send them one of their own messages they confirm it was a phish.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
