This is the 2nd time I've gotten it. I didn't know what exactly it was the first time, so I deleted it. Now I gotta show this to my mom, so she doesn't get tricked.
Thanx!

Have you actually been suspended at ebay, Lynnie?
The fake emails usually start with 'Dear ebay/(paypal) User'. A legit mail from either ebay or paypal will start with 'Dear (ebay username or real name as per paypal registration)'
I've gotten a fake one for paypal, and forwarded it to their recommended place for spoof emails. and then deleted that puppy :-P .

No, I haven't been suspended. I don't remember exactly what it looked like, but I'll go back and check the headings.

Whenever I get something fishy like that (it's usually a "virus" hoaxe,) I copy and paste or describe it as best I can at Google and that will usually give me an answer.

"Your account may behave unnormally"? LOL! Grammatical errors in the text of the spoof email are generally the first indicator that you're being snowed.... Goodness. The least you can do when you're trying to trick someone is to put your words together correctly....  Ed |
