Hello list,

I'm getting - at least once a week - an "ebay" spoof/fake email telling
me
that they lost my data or that I didn't update my info, ... in a rather
aggressive way
they ask me to renew my personal information.

For newcomers on the list and/or ebay:
Emails such as this, commonly referred to as "spoof" or "phished"
messages and are sent in an attempt to collect sensitive personal or
financial information from the recipients. Never answer to this kind of
emails!

Here is a good link for more info:
