WOW , its almost word perfect pigeon english, it MUST be from ebay, LOL, but
seriously, this is an example of a easily identifyable scam , I have seen
similar but more believable, and not just from ebay, from nat west, lloyds
tsb, barclays bank, etc, etc.............
Rule of thumb is that no legitimate site will ever send anything that asks
you to login and check or change your details, never use a link from
anything like this either, if your not sure if its real , then it probably
isnt, there are also e-mails that give a link address which is actually a
link to a virus. Never follow a link from an e-mail, if your not sure of the
sender, use your bookmark links or find the real site address, the addresses
can even look authentic, but there will be a slight difference in spelling
or wording.
And report every e-mail to the relevant company, they will deal with it from
there.
Beware.
