Ebay Safeharbor Department Notice

[Kayleigh]

I have received an email from ebay which is titled "Urgent eBay Safeharbor Department Notice".
It basically says
"Dear eBay member,

We treat online fraud seriously and all cases which cannot be resolved between eBay and the other involved party are forwarded for further investigations to the proper authorities.

When i use link it takes me to ebay login and i have to login as usual. Then it asks for me to verify credit card details etc.

Is this a scam to get my cc details or is it safe. Can't tell. Anyone else had this ?

SCAM!

Don't know about ebay really, but if asking for cc details, I'd be extremely suspicious! Defo wouldn't give them out.

Thanks so much. Am so glad I checked with you. dh said "STOP" and I wasn't sure. better go and apologise

If you are ever unsure whether an email from ebay is genuine, then forward it to [email protected]. they'll tell you one way or another.

Kayleigh, forward it on to the email addy that Lydialemon posted and get used to it I'm afraid

You will receive a lot more of these with different wording or different formats. Ebay will never send you emails asking you to confirm your identity, CC details etc through an email (or to click a link in an email to confirm them).

Another way you can tell it's not from eBay is the term "Dear eBay member". Any time I have ever had an email from eBay they have used my user id or real name after the "Dear", so any that don't get sent straight to eBay's spoof department

There is an address you can use and they check it out it is [email protected] (I think) and they will respond to you about it. There is one that I receive regularly asking for credit card details and email password and login details that is a spoof too. Always send it to ebay.
