Default Re: Another Ebay hacking!!! Read if you Sell!!!

There is one simple rule to ALWAYS follow regarding ANY email that appears to come to you from eBay or Paypal. If it doesn't have your full name clearly stated in the email it's fake. eBay & Paypal will always refer to you by your full real registered name.

eBay will always have this statement at the top of the email:

eBay sent this message to "Your Full Name" (username).
Your registered name is included to show this message originated from eBay.

Scammers will not have your registered name because if they did they would not be sending you an email because they would already have access to you account.

Never respound to

Dear eBay User

Dear (User Name)

Paypal will always refer to you as Dear "Your Full Name"

Never as:

Dear Paypal User

Dear (User Name)

I've received 1000's of scam emails from eBay & Paypal pretenders. Some have had my username on them but none have ever had my full register name.

That's the golden rule I follow.
