Thank you for contacting us about a potential fraudulent (spoof) email or Web site. We will investigate this situation immediately and inform you of the results in a separate email.

PROTECTING YOUR ACCOUNT AND INTERNET SECURITY Please submit other questions or concerns through our Contact Us System, which can be accessed by clicking on the "help" button on the top of any eBay page. This allows us to dedicate our resources appropriately. 1. IDENTIFYING FAKE EMAILS AND WEB SITES The best defense against fake emails and Web sites is learning how to spot them. You can learn more about fake emails and Web sites through our Spoof Tutorial at the following Web page: http://pages.ebay.com/education/spooftutorial/ You can also use My Messages (located at the top of the My eBay page) to detect Phishing emails. If an email from eBay affects your eBay account or asks for personal information, it's now in My Messages. Any email sent to your registered eBay email address from eBay that concerns your account or requests personal information will now appear in My Messages. 2. USING EBAY TOOLBAR WITH ACCOUNT GUARD One of the best tools to protect yourself from fraudulent (spoof) Web sites is eBay Toolbar with Account Guard. The Account Guard feature indicates when you are on an eBay or PayPal Web site and warns you if you are on a known spoof site. To learn more about eBay Toolbar with Account Guard open a new browser and type www.ebay.com/ebay_toolbar into the address bar. 3. PROTECTING YOUR ACCOUNT AND INTERNET SECURITY We recommend that you keep your browser, operating system, and virus protection software up to date. Check for updates at the "Windows Update" link on www.microsoft.com and scan your computer for viruses often. If you think your personal information has been compromised in any way, you should take immediate steps to change your eBay, PayPal, and email passwords. You should also contact your bank to see if there has been any suspicious activity on your account.
