    Hi!

    I just got an email, it says I have to verify my info and stuff, including cc, and banks and all the things


    IMO it's a fraud, but you never know, do you ever get an email like that?

    i'm nearly sure it's a fraud....Ebay say they'll never send you a mail like that.

    if you wish, you could view the source of the mail and click the website that the credit card details are going to. chances are it won't start with the 'https' thingy, and that should confirm it's bogus.

    I got a very clever looking one last year - purporting to be from Citibank. HTML format, proper graphics and logos and looked darned plausible. Cleverly it also asked for the three digit security number as well as ones social security number.

    I think it's more a case of 'everyone else' than 'anyone else'.
