Subject: security issue: eBay Account
Suspended
Dear loopdwellers
This is a rare occasion that I post a HTML mail to this
forum.
But it is the second putative mail I get from a sender
pretending to be eBay.
The domain roomfour.net is actually registered in
Germany.
Since I know that my email address was harvested from loopersdelight
archive, I presume that other victims are to be found on this
list.
What I want to say: DON'T react to this mail if you received
it,too.
Best,
Bernhard

Dear eBay Member,
Due to recent account takeovers
and unauthorized listings, eBay is introducing a new account verification
method. From time to time, randomly selected accounts (seller and/or buyer)
are subjected to an advanced verification process based on our merchant
accounts/bank relations and customers credit card. eBay may also request in
an email message scanned/faxed copies of one or more photo ID's. Your
account confirmation may go wrong if your credit card/bank account is
expired, or if you have changed your credit card number, billing address
etc. without notifying us about the change. Subject of this verification
process are also the accounts that have unpaid dues to eBay.
Your
account is not suspended, but if in 48 hours after you receive this message
your account is not confirmed we reserve the right to suspend your eBay
registration. If you received this notice and you are not the authorized
account holder, please be aware that it is in violation of eBay policy to
represent oneself as another eBay user. Such action may also be in violation
of local, national, and/or international law. eBay is committed to assist
law enforcement with any inquires related to attempts to misappropriate
personal information with the intent to commit fraud or theft. Information
will be provided at the request of law enforcement agencies to ensure that
perpetrators are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Note: If
this is the second time you receive this notice, it might be because you
have made a mistake when you entered your details or that the account was
not updated at all.

and we would like to thank you for your cooperation as we review this
matter.
Respectfully,
Trust and Safety Department
