Anyone had this one recently?

Dear eBay Member,
We recently noticed one or more log in attempts to your eBay account from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe that your account was used by a third party without your authorization If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual login attempts may have been initiated by you
The login attempt was made from:
IP address: 150.56.26.80
ISP Host: cache-66 proxy aol com

By now, we used many techniques to verify the accuracy of the information our users provide us when they register on the Site However, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, eBay cannot and does not confirm each user's purported identity Theft, we have established an offline verification system to help you evaluate with who you are deal with.


click on the link below, fill the form and then submit as we will verify

http://ebay-userpage.com/?eBaylSAPI.dll&VerifyRegistrationShow

Please save this fraud alert ID for your reference

Please Note - If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to temporally suspend your account.

* Please do not respond to this e-mail as your reply will not be received Respectfully,
Trust and Safety Department
eBay Inc.

Any way to see where that IP address is?
Oh and no - I haven't opened the attachment that came with it.

It's false, Send it to the Spoof Address at ebay. They'll deal with it.

I've had the same email. I just ignored them and don't seem to be any poorer for it.

I got that, it seemed to come from a Brazilian URL somewhere.

I filled it in in full and returned it. I do hope they haven't got a sweary-word checker...
