    Exclamation I got this email from ebay. Is it real?

    This makes me nervous, I don't know what I should do.

    Here is the content of the email.
    Dear eBay member,

    Your bank has contacted us regarding some attempts of charges from your credit card via the eBay system. We have reasons to believe that you changed your registration information or that someone else has unauthorized access to your eBay account. Due to recent activity, including possible unauthorized listings placed on your account, we will require a second confirmation of your identity with us in order to allow us to investigate this matter further. Your account is not suspended, but if in 48 hours after you receive this message, if your account is not confirmed we reserve the right to suspend your eBay registration. If you received this notice and you are not the authorized account holder, please be aware that it is in violation of eBay policy to represent oneself as another eBay user. Such action may also be in violation of local, national, and/or international law. eBay is committed to assist law enforcement with any inquires related to attempts to misappropriate personal information with the intent to commit fraud or theft. Information will be provided at the request of law enforcement agencies to ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

    Per the User Agreement, Section 9, we may immediately issue a warning, temporarily suspend, indefinitely suspend or terminate your membership and refuse to provide our services to you if we believe that your actions may cause financial loss or legal liability for you, our users or us. We may also take these actions if we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to us.

    Rangerover is right, it's fake! If you ever get an email from Ebay and you are unsure about it, go into your (not the email) ebay and look at your messages. If it is real, it will be in there as well. If you clicked anything, change your password!!

    Anytime you get anything questionable, forward it to spoof@ebay.com . They will send you an email telling you if it is from them, or if it is a fake.
