NEARLY EVERY DAY WE RECEIVE EMAILS WHICH ASKS US TO VERIFY OUR EBAY ACCOUNT, OR ASKING US TO BECOME A SILVER POWERSELLER WHEN WE ARE ALREADY POWERSELLERS, THIS IS A SPOOF EMAIL, WHICH ASKS YOU TO CLICK ON THE LINK, WHEN YOU DO THIS YOU ARE REDIRECTED TO FAKE PAGE, WHICH LOOKS LIKE THE EBAY SIGN IN PAGE, YOU ARE THEN ASKED TO ENTER YOUR EBAY USER NAME AND PASSWORD, PLEASE UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ENTER YOUR DETAILS,

EBAY WILL NEVER EMAIL YOU TO REQUEST THAT YOU SIGN IN THROUGH A LINK ON AN EMAIL, THIS IS JUST A CON TO OBTAIN YOU ACCOUNT DETAILS.

THEY HAVE ALSO STARTED DOING THE SAME WITH PAYPAL, AGAIN ASKING YOU TO ACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT OR VERIFY YOUR DETAILS.

PLEASE FORWARD ANYTHING THAT LOOKS SUSPICIOUS TO EBAY OR PAYPAL AS THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE STOPPED

                  ''PLEASE VOTE IF YOU FEEL THIS REVIEW HAS BEEN OF HELP TO YOU''

KIND REGARDS AND KEEP SMILING ,...MARK
