Received Activation email from ebay but don't have an account

    Hi everyone,

    Sorry if the answer to this is posted elsewhere, did a quick search and didn't find anything.

    Today I found 2 emails in my email account from registration@ebay.ie asking me to activate my account.

    I don't have an account with ebay and no-one I know has tried to set one up without my knowledge so I'm wondering what I should do.

    I've changed my email password and emailed spoof@ebay.ie (although from replies from elsewhere I see this is as useful as pissing against the wall) to de-activate the account but I'm just wondering if there's anything else I should do or if anyone knows if this has ever happened to them.

    It just seems weird that I only arrived home from abroad yesterday and this happens (live in the UK but its ebay.ie and not ebay.co.uk).

    Any help welcome

    Cheers

    just ignore it ,send them no personal info at all
