I got this today in my bulk email. It says I am going to be suspended but does not give any indication of why. I have done nothing wrong and all my auctions are legit and abide by the rules.

It has a link but I am not going to click on it because of all the scams going around. Has anyone else gotten one of these?

Here is the email-

Don't ever log into your account from an email. Never, never, never! eBay will never ask you to do this. Neither will PayPal or Vendio. Just forward the email to [email protected].

It's a scam and should get the Scammie award for very poor writing.

Just send to [email protected]
They'll tell you if it's real or not.
It also gives them a chance to catch these people.

Click the link then fill it is with bogus made up information. I guarantee that it will accept it. I do it on everyone I receive. More people need to send bogus info to these bastard thieves. We need to start wasting their time as much as they are wasting ours.

Wouldn't it be great if the FTC or FBI would open a site where we could forward these? Then we could go to the FBI site and reply.

The scammers would get a response from the FBI, lol, and it would stop them quick!
