Has anyone received an email message from Ebay Billing looking for update information on your credit card along with your bank Pin #, SS#, Diver license #. Why do they need my bank Pin #. This is the number that allows you to take money from your ATM or make a purchase over the phone and Internet with other proof. What’ up. Please help me out this

Remember eBay will never ask you for your password. If you keep that in mind then you would know that the email you received is spam. Do as Dad suggests send it to [email protected]. You are now in a discussion board that is full of knowledge better stick around....

I click on them once in a while.
Most go nowhere!
As long as you don't fill anything out, I don't see what it can hurt.
But there may be some programs that can gather info just from visiting their site.
Somebody,anybody, tell me am I right or am I mistaken?

Your bank Pin # is needed so they can empty your account for you, just make sure you give them the right one.
cmssPU is busy filling out the form & hasn't time to come back.

cmsspu - just in case this is a valid post -
That email was not from eBay. It was a hoax email sent to harvest passwords, bank acct #'s, credit info etc. Hopefully you didn't answer it.
If you did, you must take immediatesteps to protect yourself by changing passwords and contacting credit card cos, banks etc .
In any case, you should forward the email to: [email protected]
Jane - I think that clicking on the link lets them know that they hit a valid email addy and will probably generate more spoof emails..be on guard! Forward them all on to [email protected]
edited to take out attempt at html...i need coffee!

Thanks to those who answered my questions about clicking on the link of this email. I have gotten a lot of these bogus emails, but this was the most convincing ever. Only after I clicked on the link did I notice that management was spelled incorrectly. Thank God that I did not fill out the requested information! I am absolutely not a computer expert - I manage to get my auctions on and send email, etc., but the thought of having my system crash or having all my information stolen scares the +**** out of me - so, thanks again.

that is a spoof E-mail and not from E-bay. DO NOT REPLY. Those folks want to steal your identity. Check out the E-mail general announcements board for more details. If you have already responded, notify your bank and credit card companies and change your PIN etc. ASAP.
I have also gotten such E-mails alledgedly from other on-line marketers..
