Hi all

Those of you who buy and sell on eBay should beware of getting a message, 
purporting to be from eBay, saying that your account has been suspended 
pending verification of your bank account details.  It then links you to a 
web site that asks for your account details including PIN.

If you receive a message like this, immediately forward it to:

spoof@xxxxxxxxxx

and they will send you a confirmation that the email is nothing to do with 
them, and should be deleted.

At first glance the message looks genuine enough, however there are several 
giveaways including grammatical errors, that point to the message being 
composed by someone whose first language is not English!
