    Five password bruteforcing attems were performed on your eBay account.

    You (or someone else) has attempted to log in with your eBay ID and 5 diffrent wrong passwords.

    According to our site policy you will have to confirm that you are the real owner of the eBay account by completing the following form or else your account will be suspended within 24 hours for investigations.

The process takes about 5 minutes to complete and involves updating your eBay information. When you're successfully verified, you will receive an ID Verify icon in your feedback profile. Currently, the service is only available to residents of the United States and U.S. territories (Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands and Guam.)

      I offcause can't be 100% sure but I thing its real.
      SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

          the easiest way to tell is mouseover all the links

          if it's fake it always has proxy server adreess

          also ebay and paypal never ask you to submit your password via email

              Check the source code of the message and see if the links actually point to ebay. Sounds fake to me. I wouldn't just mouseover in case they are using that hack that can spoof IE into displaying the wrong url. I'm not sure if Microsoft fixed that in a windows update or not.

                  If they included a link in the message, post the URL here. (Remove your username if it's there).

                  If there was no link in the message, it's real.

                                  are you kidding? Of course it's a scam.
