I just recieved 2 emails from ebay customer support "Thanking me for taking the time to write them"

The problem is that I never wrote them! Has someone gained access to my password?

Can someone supply me with an ebay phone#?
Thanks!

'Morning, Micmic! What else do the e-mails say? Have you sent any phish stuff to [email protected]? Do they contain anything to click on (don't do it)? If it makes you nervous, change your password. How are the garage/yard sales doing down there, they are starting to fizzle out up here. Always do, after Labor Day.

Here is what ebay wrote me:

I got the same email but I had just sent some phish emails to [email protected] and did not get the "forget it" email that usually comes in response. I thought someone had hit the wrong response button there.

Spoofers are trying to be clever.

Be aware of any email that appears to come from eBay, PayPal, etc (just avoid clicking links)

Went to paypal loged in with no problems, went back to Ebay and was able to log in with no problems.

I don't know what ebay is fixing this time but... I wish they would quit just long enough for us to actually list something!! I just got sent all over the place trying to list one little book with their pre filled in item stuff. Somehow I ended up out on the general announcements page. I think ebay has been taken over by gremlins!
