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.

We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause
you and we would like to thank you for your cooperation as we review this
matter.
Respectfully,
Trust and Safety Department
