Yes Rainband...I've gotten that email on a few occasions. DO NOT RESPOND TO IT. Put it in your Junk file and get rid of it.

I have recieved this email several times.

If you check with the actual eBay pages about this, you'll find that unless it directly calls YOU by name, it is not legitimate. The first one startled me....by about the 5th one, I quit worrying!.................p :roll:

Never ever respond to an email from paypal asking for information. Paypal wil lnever ask for info by email.

If you have any doubts whatsoever, then go to paypal by entering the address manually into your browser, and check there. But these are very common scams.

I get the same emails from Yahoo claiming there's been illegal activity on my account. :roll: It's junk. I've got about 5 in my junk email folder right now.
