If you suspect an eBay or a Paypal email as being a fraud do NOT click on anything inside the email but instead do this....


Immediately forward the suspicious email to spoof@ebay.com or spoof@paypal.com
They will write back to you and tell you if it is a fraudulent email or not.
That way, you can be sure.  In the meantime...do NOT click on any links! Always log into eBay or Paypal by opening up a new browser window and logging into those sites on your own.

If eBay or Paypal contact you and tell you it is a spoof email.......Immediately delete it from your inbox and then go into your trash and delete it from there too.

Play it safe...foward those messages to spoof@!!
It helps ebay and Paypal track down those hackers/scammers
