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.
