Just received an email from "Ebay" asking me to update information. Of course, it's fake. Contact "Live Help" to verify that the message came from Ebay before giving any personal information.

This is why I absolutely hate posting to this message board and finally finally got the message -- go home, which I will do and stay with the yahoo Ebay/auction groups who treat a person more civil.

Salga do you go into those groups and ask for help for your class? If so, than that would be the place to go.
Spoofs are getting worse. This one was received by a buyer that doesn't have a credit card on file.

Sal, I could go back no more than three weeks and find a dozen threads on eBay spoofs.
The question is: why haven't you already read them?
It's the same question we always ask you. There's this disconnect between what you profess to be and what you do. I doubt any of us are going to stop noticing that.

Sal..I think the response to your original statement is that those kind of emails are ALWAYS a hoax!! You should not bother "live help" with them..forward to [email protected] if it makes you feel better.
